Asia.
Look for ants on soybean stems and leaves. The presence of ants on soybean plants is often an indicator of soybean aphid presence on the plant. Ants are attracted by the sweet honeydew that the aphids produce while feeding and harvest this liquid directly from the aphids. Sampling for soybean aphid should begin once aphids are first noted in soybeans during the spring. Because movement to soybeans is often sporadic and difficult to predict, we offer season-long updates on soybean aphid emergence numbers at Purdue's weekly Pest&Crop newsletter, available for free download. The soybean aphid, a native of Asia, has been in the Midwest since 2000 and has quickly become the most serious pest of soybeans in much of Indiana. These aphids are small (less than 1/16 in length), yellow-bodied insects with distinct black cornicles, and may be either winged or wingless.

Aphids are distributed worldwide, but are most common in temperate zones. In contrast to many taxa, aphid species diversity is much lower in the tropics than in the temperate zones. They can migrate great distances, mainly through passive dispersal by riding on winds.he removal of sap creates a lack of vigour in the plant, and aphid saliva is toxic to plants. Aphids frequently transmit disease-causing organisms like plant viruses to their hosts. The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is a vector for more than 110 plant viruses. Some Background. Aphids, members of the order Homoptera, are probably the most notorious pests in the world. With well over 4000 species of aphids in this huge order, there is an aphid for everyone and nearly everyone in horticulture and agriculture may have to, at some point in time, deal with aphids. The soybean aphid is native to Asia. It has been described as a common pest of soybeans in China and as an occasional pest of soybeans in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. The soybean aphid was first documented in North America in Wisconsin in July 2000. Ragsdale et al Life History. Soybean aphids rely on two plant species, soybean and common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) (Fig. 3), as hosts to complete their annual life cycle in the U.S. Soybean aphids spend winter as eggs on buckthorn trees. In spring, females hatch from these eggs and feed on buckthorn, reproducing asexually.verview. The soybean aphid is an exotic pest of soybean (Glycine max) accidentally introduced into the United States from Asia. It was first detected in the Midwestern U.S. in 2000 and in Pennsylvania in 2001. The life history of many aphids is complex and unusual. Enormous populations of aphids can be built up in a short period of time. Although considerable variation occurs between species, a typical life history is described as follows. Aphids generally overwinter as fertilized eggs.hey feed on both coniferous and deciduous plants. Effective control of aphids has been a problem to homeowners and landscape managers for years. Some of the more common aphids include the green peach aphid, melon aphid, tuliptree aphid, giant bark aphid, white pine aphid, and rose aphid. Many species of aphids or plant lice occur on ornamental trees and shrubs in Pennsylvania. Certain species feed on foliage, others on twigs and branches, flowers or fruit, and some on roots. Aphids live on several distinct hosts, spending part of their seasonal development on one host and the remainder on another.hey feed on both coniferous and deciduous plants. Effective control of aphids has been a problem to homeowners and landscape managers for years. Some of the more common aphids include the green peach aphid, melon aphid, tuliptree aphid, giant bark aphid, white pine aphid, and rose aphid. By 2003, the soybean aphid had been documented in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.t has been described as a common pest of soybeans in China and as an occasional pest of soybeans in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. The soybean aphid was first documented in North America in Wisconsin in July 2000. Aphids suck the juices out of plants – it’s a living!*. Aphids are tiny insects in the Order Hemiptera that live by feeding on the phloem sap of plants. Nearly all annual and perennial plants, including shrubs and trees are potential hosts for aphids, which can be found from the growing tips and flowers to the roots.
