Aphids are also called honeybugs. The aphid that harms melon is melon aphid, namely cotton aphid. Aphids mainly harm melon leaves, buds, tender stems. Aphid control methods are as follows:

1. Remove residual branches and leaves in melon field in time, eradicate weeds at the edge of field and eliminate aphid breeding ground.

2. Yellow aphid trap was used to trap aphid. The yellow aphid luring plate is made of cardboard, fiberboard or plywood, coated with a layer of dark yellow paint, dried and coated with a layer of transparent No. 10 engine oil. Aphids like withered yellow most. Those aphids with wings will fly to the aphid-attracting plate after seeing the withered yellow aphid-attracting plate, and then be stuck by engine oil to trap and kill them. Silver gray films can also be hung in the field to drive away winged aphids and prevent them from laying eggs.

3. Chemical control. The aphids can be sprayed on the back of leaves and tender stems with 2000~3000 times solution of 20% Sumimedin or 2.5% Dimekill, 2.5% Kungfu and 40% Juma EC.
