Abstract

Abstract This chapter focuses on melon/cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), foxglove aphid (Aulacorthum solani), potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) and green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), providing an overview of their occurrence in greenhouse crops (including fruit, vegetable, flower and spice crops) across Canada, the biological control agents, predators, parasitoids and entomopathogens that have been used to date for their management, and the release and effectiveness of parasitoids. Future research prospects are recommended.
