Comparative Host Plant Range Studies of the Blue Alfalfa Aphid, Acyrthosiphon Kondoi Shinji, and the Pea Aphid, Acyrthosiphon Pisum (Harris) (Homoptera: Aphididae)
1981
Host plant ranges of the blue alfalfa aphid (BAA),
Acyrthosiphon kondoi Shinji, and the pea aphid (PA),
Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), were investigated on
leguminous plant species. Fecundities of BAA and PA
were determined on 84 plant species from the genera
Astragalus, Coronilla, Lathyrus, Lens, Lotus, Lupinus,
Medicago, Melilotus, Ononis, Phaseolus, Pisum,
Trifolium, Vicia, and Vigna in greenhouse studies. Both
aphids displayed a broad reproductive host range
extending to species in all genera tested except
Phaseolus. Few well-defined differences were evident
between reproductive host ranges of the two aphid
species...
