Abstract
Various methods of estimating aphid populations are discussed and their limitations are noted. Details are given of the construction and operation of an electronic counter by means of which normal colonies of aphids can be counted with a repeatability of ± 3%. It is essentially an instrument for use in the laboratory, where a stable power supply is normally available.Keywords
