Cabbage aphids begin appearing in mid-June, and populations may
build up rapidly. They prefer young leaves, flowering plants parts,
and the underside of cap leaves. Aphids will suck the sap from the
plant leaf and heavy populations can cause leaves to cup, yellow,
and curl. Plants with severe infestations will often wilt, become
stunted, form small, light heads, or may even die. Large infestations
can also kill seedlings and young transplants. Cabbage aphids are
difficult to remove before processing or marketing and may also
be a contaminate problem. |
