Description: Photographs and information on this aphid which transmits plant viruses, its distribution, host plants, damage, natural enemies and management.
green peach aphid - Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Sulzer) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Sulzer), is found throughout the world, including all areas of North America, where it is viewed as a pest principally due to its ability to transmit plant viruses. In addition to attacking plants in the field, green peach aphid readily infests vegetables and ornamental plants grown in greenhouses. This allows high levels of survival in areas with inclement weather, and favors ready transport on plant material. When young plants are infested in the greenhouse and then transplanted into the field, fields will not only be inoculated with aphids but insecticide resistance may be introduced. These aphids also can be transported long distances by wind and storms.
