Species composition, complex structure, and population dynamics of aphids in a grain-grass-row crop rotation in Northwestern Russia
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 07/31/2026 - 18:08In the Northwestern region of Russia, and in the Leningrad Region in particular, mass outbreaks of aphids occasionally occur, which have a significant impact on crop formation. The aim of the study was to investigate the species composition, complex structure, and population dynamics of aphids in the fields of a grain-grass-row crop rotation, which is widely practiced in this territory. The aphid complex was studied during 2021–2022 using yellow water traps placed in all fields of the crop rotation.
