Last Updated: 2024/11/21, Aphids, also known as greasy insects and honey insects, are one of the main pests on cotton in China. Cotton aphids damaged in cotton fields can be divided into seedling aphids and summer aphids. Seedling aphids occur before emergence to budding, and the temperature is suitable for low temperature. when the temperature exceeds 27 ℃, the reproduction is inhibited and the insect population decreases rapidly. aphids that often occur from early July to mid-August are called "summer aphids". On the 3rd, the average temperature is 2428 ℃ and the relative humidity is 55% and 85%, which is beneficial to the proliferation of "aphids". The weather when it is sunny and rainy is the most suitable for the breeding of "aphids".

Aphids, also known as greasy insects and honey insects, are one of the main pests on cotton in China. Cotton aphids damaged in cotton fields can be divided into seedling aphids and summer aphids. Seedling aphids occur before emergence to budding, and the temperature is suitable for low temperature. when the temperature exceeds 27 ℃, the reproduction is inhibited and the insect population decreases rapidly. aphids that often occur from early July to mid-August are called "summer aphids". The average temperature of 3 days is 24-28 ℃, and the relative humidity is 55%-85%, which is beneficial to the proliferation of "aphids"; the weather when it is sunny and rainy is the most suitable for "aphids" to breed; and the continuous overcast and rain for 5-6 days has a significant inhibitory effect.

In general, the occurrence of single cropping cotton field is early and heavy, while that of intercropping cotton field is relatively late. The nutritional conditions of cotton plants have an effect on the occurrence of aphids. Aphids are more harmful to cotton plants with high nitrogen content. In addition, the natural enemies of cotton aphids can effectively control their damage, and their damage can be basically controlled when the total number of enemies and the number of cotton aphids is 1: 40. & nbsp cotton aphid control is mainly agricultural control and biological control, supplemented by chemical control.

1. Agricultural prevention and control & nbsp

(1) intercropping and interplanting can increase the species and number of natural enemies and control the damage of aphids. Such as intercropping of cotton and wheat; intercropping of cotton with mung beans and green manure; planting corn, rape, sorghum and other attractive crops by flower arrangement. (2) Paddy-upland rotation can reduce the occurrence of cotton aphid. Where conditions permit, rotation of cotton and rice will be carried out. (3) treatment of overwintering hosts to reduce the source of aphids in early spring. Generally, weeds inside and outside the cotton field are removed before the cotton seedlings are unearthed.

2. Chemical control

The main results are as follows: (1) selecting aphid-resistant cotton seeds coated with anti-aphid seed coating agent can effectively control seedling aphids and protect lady beetles, the natural enemy of aphids. If imidacloprid and acetamiprid are used at the seedling stage, cotton farmers are encouraged to choose aphid-resistant cotton seeds, which can not only save labor but also control insects. (2) alternately using 3% acetamiprid EC, 10% imidacloprid wettable powder and 2.5% pyridine EC diluted 1500 to 2000 times can delay the emergence of aphid drug resistance.
