“…Aphis fabue is a severe pest of field beans (Viciu fubu) in the south of England and causes crop losses by feeding damage and virus infection (WAY and HEATHCOTE 1966). Winter egg counts on the primary host E. europueus have been used for more than two decades to predict the likelihood of spring infestation of bean crops (WAY et al 1977). More recently this has been refined by incorporating the known distribution of E. europueus in the main bean growing areas (WAY and CAMMELL 1982) and also by the addition of spring and autumn suction trap data (WAY et al 1987).…”

The overwintering strategies of 6 aphid pests of arable crops are discussed. Three, Sitobion avenae, Rhopalosiphum padi and Metopolophium dirhodum are important pests of cereals world‐wide. The other three, Aphis fabae, Acyrthosiphon pisum and Myzus persicae are serious pests of Vicia, Pisum and Solanum species respectively. All 6 aphids show a variety of overwintering strategies. A. fabae, M. dirhodum and R. padi are mainly host‐alternating (heteroecious) holocyclic species; A. pisum and S. avenae are single host (autoecious) holocyclic species. Myzus persicae is mainly anholocyclic and autoecious although it can be holocyclic and heteroecious. The degree to which each aphid specialises in a particular mode of overwintering is discussed. The amount of mortality likely to be experienced by eggs (70 %) and viviparae (up to 100 %) is compared and contrasted. Natural enemies are the major factor causing egg mortality and low temperatures are the greatest single cause of mortality affecting the viviparae. Systems predicting aphid numbers on summer crops, based on winter populations of aphids are described and assessed as to their accuracy. Zusammenfassung Zur Überwinterung von sechs Ackerland‐Aphiden. Ein Überblick unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Pest‐Managements Es werden die Überwinterungsstrategien von 6 Ackerland‐Aphiden dargestellt und erörtert. Drei Arten: Sitobion avenae, Rhopalosiphum padi und Metopolophium dirhodum, sind weltweit wichtige Getreideschädlinge. Die anderen drei: Aphis fabae, Acyrthosiphon pisum und Myzus persicae sind bedeutende Schädlinge an Vicia, Pisum und Solanum. Alle 6 Blattlausarten zeigen eine Variabilität in ihrer Überwinterungsstrategie. A. fabae, M. dirhodum und R. padi sind wirtswechselnd (heterözisch) und holozyklisch. A. pisum und S. avenae sind nicht wirtswechselnd (autözisch) und holozyklisch. M. persicae ist hauptsächlich anholozyklisch und autözisch, obwohl sie auch holozyklisch und heterözisch auftreten kann. Der Grad, bis zu welchem sich jede Aphidenart in ihrer Überwinterung spezialisiert hat, wird diskutiert. Die Mortalität, gemessen bei Eiern (bis 70%) und Viviparen (bis 100%) werden verglichen. Natürliche Feinde bilden die Haupt‐Mortalitätsfaktoren bei den Eiern, tiefe Temperaturen jene bei den Viviparen. Es werden Systeme beschrieben und erörtert, die an Hand der Überwinterungs‐population eine Vorhersage des Aphidenauftretens auf den Sommerwirten erlauben.

“…The weekly rate of loss of R. padi and A. pisum are also very similar, regardless of date or location (table 2). It is very likely that the low egg mortality of A. fabae is the reason why the threshold value for likely damage to field beans in England is set at 5.1 eggs/ 100 buds (WAY et al 1977). In Scandinavia it would seem likely that the threshold value for R. padi is somewhere between 80 and 100 eggs/100 buds (PETTERSSON, pers.…”

“…The use of winter egg counts as a method for predicting aphid outbreaks has been little examined, with the notable exception of the scheme developed for the prediction of outbreaks of the black bean aphid, Aphis fubue Scop. on field beans in England ( WAY et al 1977, CAMMEL et al 1978, WAY et al 1981). An attempt to predict outbreaks of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris, using a similar idea, proved unsuccessful (JONES and JONES 1974).…”

During the autumn of 1981, 110 sites containing Prunus padus trees were sampled for eggs of Rhopalosiphum padi. In spring 1982, 16 sites were resampled in the main cereal growing areas to obtain an estimate of egg mortality. The density of eggs laid in autumn 1981 in the whole of Finland was 40 eggs/100 buds. In the major cereal growing areas the density was approximately 75 eggs/100 buds in autumn and had fallen to approximately 43 eggs/100 buds in spring. The feasibility of using aphid egg counts to predict outbreaks was considered in the light of this and other published data. It was concluded that this method could only be used for host‐alternating aphid species, totally or greatly dependent on the egg stage for successful overwintering. Zusammenfassung Vorhersage von Blattlaus‐Vermehrungen anhand der Zählung der Wintereier: Beurteilung ihrer Möglichkeit und Anwendungsversuch in Finnland Im Herbst 1981 wurden an 110 Stellen in Finnland die Eier von Rhopalosiphum padi am Überwinterungswirt Prunus padus gesammelt. Im Frühjahr 1982 wurde die Sammlung an 16 Stellen im Hauptgebiet des Getreideanbaus wiederholt, um die Eimortalität festzustellen. Die Eidichte betrug im Herbst 1981 für das Gesamtgebiet 40 Eier/100 Knospen. Im Hauptgebiet des Getreideanbaus lag sie bei 75 Eiern/100 Knospen und fiel bis zum Frühjahr auf 43 Eier/100 Knospen. Es wird die Möglichkeit der Verwendung der Eizählung von Blattlausvermehrungen im Lichte der Ergebnisse sowie bisheriger Veröffentlichungen erörtert. Es wird der Schluß gezogen, daß diese Methode allein für wirtswechselnde Blattläuse brauchbar ist, deren Hauptregulationsfaktor die Mortalität der Eier am Winterwirt bildet.

1. This study continues to explore the analysis of a putative adaptive trade-off in the utilisation of host plants Vicia faba and Tropaeolum majus by the aphid, Aphis fabae. These plants are utilised exclusively by the subspecies Aphis fabae fabae and A. f. mordwilkoi respectively, and this plant-use system has been studied previously as a potential source of disruptive selection.2. Here the potential of these two host plants to generate disruptive selection is considered given common utilisation of the abundant host plant, Rumex obtusifolius, by both subspecies.3. The life history of subspecific clones is quantified in the laboratory on V. faba, T. majus, and R. obtusifolius at various temperatures and used to parameterise a temperature-driven simulation model of aphid population development.4. Accuracy of the model is tested using a field experiment, and fitness of clones on specific and common host is simulated using temperature data from a number of English sites. 5. The model gives a close quantitative fit to field data and makes the following predictions: performance of A. f. fabae is higher on the specific host than the common host under all tested thermal regimes; and performance of A. f. mordwilkoi is superior on the specific host in warm years but inferior in cold years.6. Given the great abundance of R. obtusifolius relative to T. majus, the model predicts that the plant utilisation system has little potential to consistently promote hybrid dysfunction. This adds further weight to the assertion that the plant utilisation system studied can offer little insight into the evolutionary processes involved in subspecific differentiation and probably contains a host plant/host plants acquired after the evolution of reproductive barriers.
