Pulse Crop Update - 2nd May 2014 Insect pests Pea aphid Pea aphids are present at low levels in pea and bean crops following a mild winter and spring. Several aphid-transmitted viruses are associated with infested crops, affecting both yield and quality, especially if aphids are present before flowering. Virus symptoms may not be apparent until the onset of flowering - and control of early aphids is essential to prevent virus transmission. Products containing pirimicarb (field beans, combining and vining peas, green beans) or thiacloprid (combining and vining peas) will give good control of aphids. farminguk/News/Pulse-Crop-Update-2nd-May-2014_29965.html
