Abstract

SummaryWinged and wingless individuals of Myzus persicae (Sulz.), when offered a choice between unsprayed cauliflower seedlings and seedlings sprayed with a 0·1 per cent. aqueous solution of Lissapol N (a non-ionic wetting agent), preferred Lissapol-treated plants. This effect was statistically significant.Further experiments showed that Aphids similarly preferred treated turnip seedlings to untreated seedlings. The preference for sprayed cauliflower seedlings was also shown when an anionic, a cationic and a mixed wetting agent were used.
