Abstract

The cosmopolitan and polyphagous green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) pest was recorded on so many plant species worldwide Myzus persicae is highly effective as a virus vector, and with a great range of genetically-based variability in properties such as color, life cycle, host-plant relationships and methods of resisting insecticides The green peach aphid has a complex life cycle with more than 15 generations a year in Jordan Most generations consist of parthenogenetic females that produce nymphs without mating The Myzus persicae complex is a serious pest of several major agricultural crops including peaches, potatoes, sugar beets, and tobacco, and various ornamental crops grown in landscapes and in glasshouses [1,2,616,]. High populations of M. persicae cause injury by removing large volumes of sap from plants and depleting them of nutrients. They also cause indirect injury via the production of sugary honeydew that makes the leaves susceptible to sun scald and provides food for sooty mold, which then reduces leaf quality
