Chemical controls can provide only marginal additional reduction of aphid transmitted viruses, primarily assisting with disease spread that occurs from plant-to-plant within the field (secondary spread). Neonicotinoid insecticides (Admire/Provado, Platinum/Actara) can provide excellent aphid control. Ensure aphid species are identified in the crop to help with control and virus management. Emulsions (0.025%) of ethyl parathion, rogor [dimethoate], phosdrin [mevinphos] and diazinon, each applied in early Mar. Experimental plots were established on a commercial potato field near Coloma, Wisconsin (44.027462, −89.605643) on a loamy sand soil in 2018. Many types of aphid colonise crops, but the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae is one of the most widespread and damaging.

Management of green peach aphid and potato aphid involves an integrated program of reducing overwintering populations, controlling weeds in and around the field, and the use of foliar sprays. The potato is the most popular common crop in India. Means followed by the same letter do not significantly differ from each other ( P= 0.05). Transmission of viruses can cause serious economic damage but only heavy infestations cause direct feeding damage. Sowing wildflowers into potato crops could reduce aphid-carried viruses and offer an alternative to declining access to insecticides for growers. Cornicles are the same color as the body with dark tips. The crop was treated with Bravo ZN at 5–7 day intervals based on recommendations from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension throughout the season for controlling late blight. While oil can lower PVY incidence in the field, the magnitude of control can vary considerably from year to year (the reduction was up to 2-fold in an AHDB-funded project on mineral oils). Mass releases of aphid parasitoids can also control pest outbreaks, particularly in closeted environments such as glasshouses.
