Abstract : |
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an extremely important cereal crop: it is grown in almost all countries. Its spring and winter varieties, wide temperature tolerance and ability to grow under a variety of soil types and rainfall patterns, give this crop a wide range of adaptability. One of the factors limiting wheat production is attack by aphids. These cause damage by: extraction of plant sap; injection of toxic secretions; transmission of viral diseases and excretion of honeydew. Particularly in cereals, honeydew reduces quality by interfering in the milling process. , Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an extremely important cereal crop: it is grown in almost all countries.
