Cultural management

  •      High levels of nitrogen fertilizer favor aphid reproduction, so never use more nitrogen than recommended dose.
  •      Release first instar larvae of green lacewing (Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi) @ 4,000 Nos/acre.
  •      Spraying with tobacco decoction (1 Kg tobacco boiled in 10 lit of water for 30 minutes and making up to 30 lit + 100 g soap).
  •      Use of predatory ladybird beetle.
