Cabbage aphids, Brevicoryne brassicae, Linnaeus colony (or cluster) on a cabbage stem. The pale green body is cauliflower, and head cabbage. Cultural and biological control strategies can help reduce aphid infestation and use of pesticides while still maintaining yield and quality of produce. The cabbage aphid. other members of the genus Brassica, however, damage is usually Adults: Aphids are soft-bodied and oval or pear shaped with a posterior pair of tubes called cornicles, which project backward. decrease in photoperiod or temperature (Blackman and Eastop, There are several stages and forms of cabbage aphids, with … cabbage aphid. This will reduce spread to other plots. A study on insecticide resistance in cabbage aphid carried out in Pakistan reports that aphids developed resistance to chemicals including methomyl, emamectin benzoate, and pyrethroids (cypermethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, bifenthrin and deltamethrin) and neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and thiamethoxam). Wings are short and stout with prominent veins. They increase in size toward the posterior The aphid has a simple life cycle with adult females giving birth to live offspring throughout the year in most parts of California. For small-scale vegetable growers (home growers), aphids can be repelled by planting crops with reflective mulch-covered beds and monitored by filling yellow pans with water, if aphids are found in great numbers in the water traps additional control measures may be necessary (Griffin and Williamson 2012). Predation of the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), by the cecidomyiid Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rond.) are dark brown. areas of the world. The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) is one of the major pests of plants in the family Brassicacae, including rapeseed oil (Brassica rapa L.) and different cultivars of cabbages (Brassica oleracea L.), such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts (Chua 1977, Gabrys et al. Both winged and wingless adults occur; the winged adults have a black thorax and lack the waxy coating. surfaces and in leaf folds of developing heads, on leaf stalks, Cabbage Aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), in Egypt. Bull. Amin, A. H. and G. M. ElDefray. Transmission is usually in a nonpersistent manner Cabbage and Turnip California Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology.

Introduction. R. L. Hines and W. D. Hutchison Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota. Life cycle of aphids. The egg stage is the overwintering stage of aphids. posterior end of the body tapers greatly. A native of Europe, the cabbage aphid is now found in many The winged aphids have a yellow abdomen with two dark spots on the dorsal anterior abdominal segments. McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York. Photograph by Lyle Buss, University of Florida, Entomology and Nematology Department. On the other hand, the green peach aphid lacks a waxy covering, and has long cornicles (Opfer and McGrath 2013). 154-155. broccoli, Chinese cabbage, daikon, radish, kale, rape and most The total life cycle duration ranges between 16 to 50 days depending on temperature.

Life Cycle and Description. dark band across the top of the last abdominal segments. The total life cycle represents the period from the Adult cabbage aphids can take on two forms: winged and wingless (Herrick and Huntgate 1911). Seed extract of the Chinaberry tree (Melia azedarach) (Baidoo and Adam 2012, Kibrom et al. Nymphs are similar 73 pp. Its presence on established plants can usually be tolerated however, the aphid can make kale inedible and the growth points of young brassica can be severely affected. Colonies of aphids are found on upper and lower leaf surfaces, in leaf folds, along the leafstalk, and near leaf axils. level. Aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae) Cabbage aphid is the most common aphid species affecting forage brassica crops. virus but more transmissions are obtained with apterae forms Life cycle duration ranges from 16 - 50 days and is greatly influenced by temperature. Aphids are serious pests under cool and dry conditions. The type of cabbage aphid life cycle depends on the climatic conditions during winter. Aphids have been managed using insecticidal soaps (e.g. Generations are overlapping, with up to 15 generations during the crop season (Hines and Hutchison 2013). Antennae brassicae aphid over their lifetime was lower than the general average level of lipids, but at the same time it was higher than the one of carbohydrates, where the overall average scored (0.375227 cal/mg) for all ages and during the life cycle of aphids (Table 1). vectored by over 40 aphid species but especially by the cabbage Lockwood, S. 1956. Control, Fourth Edition (Revised by R.L. The cabbage aphid belongs to the genus Brevicoryne. Cabbage aphids feed on the underside of the leaves and on the center of the cabbage head (Hines and Hutchison 2013). Similarly, this cultivar revealed the highest survival rate. The Life cycle: brassica has a simple life cycle with adult females giving birth to live offspring throughout the year, parthenogenetically. It has a cosmopolitan distribution. In temperate regions this In winter development can take up to 60 days, with populations not as high. Species and Notes on Their Origin, Distribution, Hosts, This is reflected in major population studies of the species and its natural enemies, recently completed or continuing in many parts of the world. Winged forms develop and start migrating to new host plants only when plant quality deteriorates or when a plant becomes overcrowded. (Linnaeus). italica Plenck) cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.), oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)  and other members of the genus Brassica (e.g., Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.), white mustard (Sinapis (= Brassica) alba L.), black mustard (Brassica nigra L.), toria (Brassica rapa L.). Avoid replanting on land where an aphid-infested crop has been recently removed. as tested in cabbage (Webb 2010). University of birth of the nymph until its death as an adult female. Figure 1. Major aphids found in Nepal are Green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), Cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae), mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi), Cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora), Bean aphid (Aphis fabae), Cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), Banana aphid (Pentalona nigronervosa) etc which have high occurrence. In temperate climates, however, the mode of reproduction changes during the autumn as temperatures begin to drop. Cabbage aphid may have numerous generations per year, depending on climate; 20 are reported from southern California. Photograph by Lyle Buss, University of Florida, Entomology and Nematology Department. It overwinters as black eggs in host plant debris near the soil surface. Department of Horticulture. Jahan F, Abbasipour H, Askarianzade A, Hasanshahi G, Saeedizadeh A. during the warmer periods of the year. The parasitic wasp Diaeretiella rapae (M'Intosh) (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) lays eggs within half-grown nymphs (preferring 2nd to 4th instars over 1st instar nymphs and adults) and mummifies them, forming a light brown, hard shell around the aphid. Their reproduction initially is high, but drops off markedly as they mature. Phagostimulation of a monophagous aphid. London, New York, New Rochelle, Melbourne, Sydney. 1984. They prefer feeding on young leaves and flowers and often go deep into the heads of Brussels sprouts and cabbage (Natwick 2009). Generations are overlapping and continuous throughout the year Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada 85. In Integrated Pest Management for Cole Crops and The cabbage aphid is native to Europe, but now has a worldwide distribution (Kessing and Mau 1991). Life cycle: This aphid reproduces by parthenogenesisthroughout the year. rates of surfactants in combination with well adjusted spray The life cycle is shorter at higher temperatures (Kessing and Mau 1991). pp. When the wasp populations are large enough to control aphids, the aphid population has usually exceeded damage thresholds. the dorsal anterior abdominal segments. The first sign of parasite activity is reproduction changes. Plant Disease 46: 409-410. Both winged and wingless adults occur; the winged adults have a black thorax and lack the waxy coating. Severe damage to various plants in the family Brassicaceae has been reported in many areas including Canada, The Netherlands, South Africa, India and China. Palmer, MA. Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR. They produce a sugary waste product called honeydew, which is fed on by ants. The alate Brevicoryne brassicae has a dark head and thorax, 50-70 secondary rhinaria on the third antennal segment, marginal sclerites and dark dorsal cross bands. Citrograph. They are less efficient predators than syrphid Concerning lifespan and longevity of C. septempunctata, the 1st larval instar lasted an average period of 4.17 days, when fed on B. brassicae instars. The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), and the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), are found on cole crops worldwide. the plants. 2005. University of California Publication 3307. Figure 3. botrytis L.), brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. var. Broken line, survival rate; solid line, nymphs/female/day. Although found throughout New Zealand they appear more frequently in the South Island. females are 1/10 inch long and somewhat oval in shape. It also attacks Chinese broccoli, Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa, subspecies pekinensis and chinensis), radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and kale (Brassica alboglabra L.H. 2012, Mekuaninte et al. Life history: Diaeretiella rapae is a cosmopolitan solitary endoparasitoid of many aphids, and has several biotypes in different parts of the world. The cabbage aphid has a host range restricted to plants in the family Brassicaceae (=Cruciferae), which include both cultivated and wild cruciferous crops (Gabrys et al. The cabbage aphid feeds only on plants in the Cruciferae family (cole crops, mustard, etc. These short cornicles and the waxy coating found on cabbage aphids help differentiate cabbage aphids from other aphids that may attack the same host plant (Carter and Sorensen 2013, Opfer and McGrath 2013). Major economic hosts include: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Both adults and nymphs have dark heads and short cornicles, and are found only on brassicas. - Virginoparae survive during mild winters, multiplying from February onwards and giving birth … maggots and lady beetles. pp. This occurs during warmer periods in temperate climates as well. Although Diaeretiella rapae is a very common parasite it is not always effective in controlling aphids. Figure 4. Some aphid populations can be suppressed by conventional insecticides used to control Lepidopteran pests. Mealy cabbage aphid is common on brassicas. Aphids reproduce in two ways. 60(11): 402-403. In cold climates oviparae and small thin winged males occur in autumn, and the population overwinters as eggs. It is important to add a spreader-sticker (liquid detergent to break the surface tension of droplets) to the insecticides to increase surface contact with the waxy covering of the aphids' bodies (Griffin and Williamson 2012). The aphid produces a male-attracting sex pheromone. Oikos 18: 96-101. duration ranges from 16 - 50 days and is greatly influenced by The name is derived from the Latin words brevi and coryne and which loosely translates as small pipes. In warm climates (e.g., in Florida and Hawaii), females give birth to female nymphs without mating. Application timing is very important to keep aphids under control while conserving populations of natural enemies (Griffin and Williamson 2012, Hines and Hutchison 2013). Winged females are smaller and lack the waxy covering of wingless females (Natwick 2009). VegEdge, vegetable IPM resource for the Midwest. It overwinters in the egg stage on wild and cultivated crucifers, doing so in Slovakia in particular on winter rape and sometimes on cabbage seedlings. Major economically important host crops where significant losses have been found include cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN. Life table of Brevicoryne brassicae on six different host plants. Efficacy of. The rate of development is mainly dependent on temperature. Where winters are mild Brevicoryne brassicae overwinters parthenogenetically. Diversified cropping systems have the potential to inhibit or interfere with host location processes to reduce the severity of aphid outbreaks. Their resistance level was also found to increase progressively in concurrence with regular use on vegetables (Ahmad and Akhtar 2013). In this cultivar, life expectancy (e x) was 18.61 at the beginning of the life cycle and reached 0.0 after 36 d. Similarly, this cultivar revealed the highest survival rate. Oregon vegetables, cabbage aphid and green peach aphid. Opfer P, McGrath D. 2013. not covered with waxy powder. ... Brevicoryne brassicae, are not practicing social distancing on this yellow mustard. Hafez M (1961) Seasonal fluctuations of population density of the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) in the Netherlands and the role of its parasite, Aphidius (Diaeretiella) rapae (Curtis). Insects of the Hawaiian Islands, including Enumeration of the 1997). Syrphid maggots are Another useful Cabbage aphids cause significant yield losses to many crops of the family Brassicaceae, which includes the mustards and crucifers. A cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae Linnaeus, colony or cluster on a cabbage leaf. The female reproduces parthenogenetically during summer and produces sexual males and females in autumn. In the fall, the Sex pheromone of cabbage aphid. Protecting habitat that will foster the population and survival of natural enemies can help reduce the need for pesticides (Natwick 2009). Brevicoryne brassicae Plant Dis. Eggs are not laid in warm climates; females produce female nymphs directly (Kessing and Mau 1991). There are many insecticides that are effective against this IV. These two spots merge into a dark band across the last abdominal segment (Kessing and Mau 1991). and on leaf axles. mature plants causes wilting, yellowing and general stunting of The mealy cabbage aphid does not host alternate but spends its entire life cycle on cabbage (Brassica oleraceae) or other brassicas. In warm climates like Hawaii, Host location is a crucial step in the life cycle of the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Homoptera: Aphididae). Turnip Mosaic Virus is Aphids feed by sucking sap from their host plants. New York (Cornell) Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin. Mating takes place and females lay eggs. Mosaic Virus in Hawaii. Its threshold of developmentis around 4.5°C, enabling the pest to reproduce during winter, the main season of Brassicaceae crops in the Middle East. on an infected plant and transferred to a healthy plant during harvest. Volume 5: Homoptera, Aphididae. The Biology of the Continued feeding on Wingless Predation was random with respect to aphid instar, and predation rate was constant with respect to aphid density. Brevicoryne brassicae Family: Aphididae Order: Hemiptera Description: Colour - Greyish to dull mid green. Studies on the Host Range of Watermelon Photograph by Lyle Buss, University of Florida, Entomology and Nematology Department. Choice of cultivar could also reduce aphid populations and damage. Adult cabbage aphids may be winged or wingless. Aphids have piercing-sucking mouthparts. This aphid feeds on all cultivated and wild cruciferous beetles are efficient predators of aphids. In warm climates live young are produced all year, while in cooler areas there is an egg stage. (Toba, 1962). Adult wingless (apterous) females give birth to 30–50 nymphs in their life span, which is about 30–40 days. Studies on the host range of watermelon mosaic virus in Hawaii. Both winged and wingless adults occur; the winged adults have a black thorax and lack the waxy coating. The green peach aphid feeds on over 300 species of plants and does not cause serious damage on cole crops. All stages in the life cycle are present throughout the year but vary with season.
