Abstract
From 1970–1972 and in 1975, thirty-one species of natural enemies were found attacking an asparagus aphid, Brachycolus asparagi Mordvilko, a pest insect introduced into New Jersey and Delaware. Coccinellidae and Chrysopidae were the most abundant. The aphid has not become a serious pest of asparagus in New Jersey and Delaware because of the effective control provided by these native predators and by parasites and disease.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
