The eggs hatch in the spring and after several generations developing on buckhorn; they develop winged aphids and migrate to soybean fields.

This project continues to provide interesting insights into aphid overwintering and spring phenology. The unusual weather in 2012 (March & June) limited the usefulness of the 2012 data. The aim of...
