Aphis gossypii

Cotton pests that are common both to the United States and tropical America include the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glov.), the cotton leafworm [Alabama argillacea (Hbn.)], and certain grasshoppers and spider mites. Certain species of stink bugs, mirids, and cutworms which are closely related to species that occur here at times cause serious injury to cotton throughout Mexico and Central and South America. 

Two aphid species were listed by Hills (1987) as minor pests (Aphis fabae Scopoli and Aphis gossypii Glover). A number of other aphid species (e.g., Aphis debilicornus Gillette Palmer, Aphis helianthi Monell, Aphis ranunculi Kaltenbach, and Trama rara Mordvilko) have also been...

Both Aphis gossypii and Myras persicae are major agricultural pests, and insecticide resistance in these species is a significant problem. Organophosphate and carbamate tolerance in these aphids has been related to detoxification via increased carboxylesterase activity Suzuki el al., 1993 Devonshire and Moores, 1977). 

Aphids are plant fluid feeding pests of kava. Aphis gossypii is the most common found on kava in Tonga. Extremely large colonies can become established, especially during dry weather. However, the most damaging aspect of aphid infestation is their role as a vector of CMV, the cause of kava dieback.

Its physicochemical properties are quite different than those of spirodidofen 7f and spiromesifen 8a, furthermore spirotetramat 32 effectively acts on a broader spectrum of pests, e.g., it shows an excellent efficacy against different aphid species, including Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii and Phorodon humuli (Table 28.4.5).
