Abstract
The native green apple aphid (Aphis pomi DeGeer) and the invasive green spirea aphid (Aphis spiraecola Patch) share apple as a common host plant during the summer months in Central Europe. Various studies suggest that, under certain conditions, the originally host-alternating A. spiraecola is able to overwinter on apple as a winter host, following a similar life history to A. pomi. In this study, we collected stem mothers (fundatrices) and aphids of the second generation (fundatrigeniae) from ten localities throughout Hungary for nine consecutive springs to assess whether A. spiraecola can overwinter on apple as a winter host. All the collected aphid individuals (1126 aphids from 114 stem colonies during the nine years of the study) belonged to A. pomi, indicating that A. spiraecola does not, or very rarely can, overwinter on apple under Central European conditions.
期刊介绍：
Phytoparasitica is an international journal on Plant Protection, that publishes original research contributions on the biological, chemical and molecular aspects of Entomology, Plant Pathology, Virology, Nematology, and Weed Sciences, which strives to improve scientific knowledge and technology for IPM, in forest and agroecosystems. Phytoparasitica emphasizes new insights into plant disease and pest etiology, epidemiology, host-parasite/pest biochemistry and cell biology, ecology and population biology, host genetics and resistance, disease vector biology, plant stress and biotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins. Research can cover aspects related to the nature of plant diseases, pests and weeds, the causal agents, their spread, the losses they cause, crop loss assessment, and novel tactics and approaches for their management.
