Damage by Alfalfa
Aphid Thought
Minor in County
Spotted alfalfa aphid, Ther
loaphls Maculata, was found the
week of September 21 in Uma
tilla, Morrow and Wheeler coun
ties for the second consecutive
year, the state department or
agriculture reports. In 1958 the
aphid was first discovered In
west Umatilla county In mid
September. Richard K Eppley, cooperator
survey entomologist, says econ
omic damage to susceptible var
ieties is not apparent at this
time. Since the populations sam
pled are relatively small, aver
aging 2-5 per sweep, it Is not
probable an economically signif
icant outbreak would occur at
this late date. Last cuttings for
the year have been taken or are
being taken in the area.
Total distribution of the pest
may be more extensive than is
presently known; this will be
determined from more intensive
surveys now underway in sur
rounding locales.
Last year the aphid was picked
up in Wasco, Sherman and Gil
liam counties as well as Uma
tilla and Morrow counties.
The record for Wheeler county
is a new one and may Indicate
range expansion, Eppley says.
The fact that numbers were low
er at this most southern point
of infestation lends further evi
dence for the latter statement.
Whether or not the aphid has
overwintered successfully or a re
Infestation has occurred Is still
unknown. Both are possibilities.
Winged adults were noted in
all areas of Infestation as well
as occasional colonies of newly
deposited nymphs. The distri
bution in the Umaplne area
northwest of Milton-Freewater
appears to be spotty with the
aphid apparently absent in some
fields and reaching numbers as
high as 5 per sweep in neighbor
ing fields.
