| Aphids in Mauritius seldom cause direct injury of any importance to potato crops but as potential vectors of virus diseases they are significant factors in the context of the recently implemented scheme for local production of seed potatoes. A survey revealed four species occurring on potatoes,namely Myzus persicae, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Aulacorthum sp. prob. solani, and Aphis gossypii. The known abilities of these species as disease vectors elsewhere, and a local experiment to obtain data on their incidence in different climatic areas, indicated that the potentially important species are M. persicae and M. euphorbiae. Both species are apparently least numerous on potatoes in upland localities, particularly early in the crop season. | |
