The Rosy-Apple Aphis 



Measured by its immediate effects, 

 the rosy-apple aphis is the most' dan- 

 gerous of the plant lice. The un- 

 checked presence of this species in the 

 spring of the year results in a worth- 

 less crop of stunted and gnarled fruit 

 at harvest time. The species is in- 

 creasingly prevalent in the irrigate<l 

 orchards of the Northwest, and already 

 many millions of boxes of fruit have 

 been destroyed through its working. 

 Fortunate it is that control of the 

 species is easy if undertaken in time. 



Unlike the common but less danger- 

 ous green aphis of the apple, rosy-apjjle 

 aphis neglects the new growth to work 

 in and about the blossom clusters. The 

 over-wintering eggs hatch just as the 

 buds are opening, about March first, 

 producing powdery, bluish-green lice. 

 These aphids work down into the de- 

 veloping leaves, poisoning them and 

 the future fruit, and later give birth to 

 lice which finally become pinkish in 

 color. In June blackish winged indi- 

 viduals appear to fly from the apple 

 trees, which then are free of aphids 

 until the return migration in the fall. 

 In the meantime the poisoned apples 

 grow but little, but ripen early as 

 dwarfed, irregular, tasteless carica- 

 tures of fruit, hanging onto the 

 branches to testify to the destructive- 

 ness of the insect. 



The customarj- sulijluir-lime spray- 

 ing as given in March fails to destroy 

 both the eggs and the hatched young 

 of this aphis. To become effective 

 against plant lice this spray should 

 contain tobacco, as in the form of 

 black-leaf "40," one part to nine hun- 

 dred. Recent experience in California 

 warrants the recommendation of fall 

 spraying with weak oil emulsions as 

 the most dependable treatment. The 

 winter eggs are not laid for several 

 weeks after the fall migrants return to 

 the apple trees, and in the meantime 

 the insects are susceptible to a weak 

 spray and are easily reached. For 

 such spraying a four-per-cent emulsion 

 of crude oil, or a one-lo-one-lhousand
