Aphid Management in wheat
#Wheataphids
#ShergillMarkhai)
Aphids damage the crop resulting in discolouration of leaves . In case aphid infestation exceeds economic threshold level of 5 aphids per earheads (recorded from 10 randomly selected ear heads in each of the 4 quarters of one acre field), give two sprays of 2 litre PAU homemade neem extract
at weekly interval or single spray of 20 g Actara/Taiyo 25 WG (thiamethoxam) in 80-
100 litres of water per acre using knap sack sprayer or in 30 litres of water per acre
with power sprayer.
• Insecticides should be applied only if the aphid attack appears on earhead stage.
• Since the aphids appear first on borders of the crop, spray only the infested
strip to check their further spread.
