Apple Woolly Aphids; a fluffy pest!
Field trials of all types are underway across many regions!
Take a look at these photos below of an Apple Woolly Aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) trial in Newent Gloucestershire.
Taken by one of our senior agronomists, she considers these fluffy aphids as the ‘rockstars’ of the aphid world! Do not be deceived however, these pests are common on edible and ornamental apple trees, producing a white waxy 'fluff' that can be mistaken for fungal growth and lumpy swellings on the bark.
In another trial nearby, our agronomist reviewed Fungicide programmes for the control of Apple Scab (VENTIN) - the pressure in the untreated plots is really building after a season of wet and warm weather.
