Early summer populations

All aphids are not the same!
Early season yellow aphid populations feed beneficials and keep them building in the orchard.
Early season black aphids are here and gone, making them hard to target.

Old standby’s still work for Black Pecan Aphid:
ChlorpyrifosImidacloprid and other neonicotinyls (Centric, Assail, Belay)
Fulfill
![Page 14: INSECT UPDATE Will Hudson Jim Dutcher University of Georgia](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ecb5503460f94bd9d73/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Yellow aphids are more problematic
• Resistance to neonicotinyls is widespread• Contact insecticides like chlorpyrifos do little• New materials are more expensive, but control both groups
– Fulfill– Nexter– Movento

New Aphid Product
• Closer (sulfoxaflor) from Dow• In UGA tests performance is equal to
other good aphicides • Low use rates give several weeks of
control for BMA• Cost rumored to be less, but release
date not certain (June?)
