Under hot and dry conditions, reproduction rates increase, leading to a rise in populations of both adult female insects and wingless pests. These pests feed on plant sap by attacking the tender upper leaves, buds, and stems, causing significant damage. Aphids, in particular, serve as vectors for plant diseases, resulting in leaf curling, distortion, yellowing, and wilting. Additionally, the sugary secretions produced by aphids promote the growth of black sooty mold, further affecting plant health. As aphids tend to reside and feed on the undersides of leaves, careful and thorough pesticide application is necessary for effective control.
