increased and...
Field biology studies of three grain aphids, Macrosiphum
avenae (Fabr.), Acyrthosiphon dirhodum (Walker), and Rhopalosiphum
padi (L.) were conducted near Corvallis, Oregon, from 1961 to
1964.
Populations of M. avenae were found on grain plants, and
alatae entering spring barley may have been from wheat fields. Specimens
were found more...
