Piercing and sucking pestsApple aphidApple aphids overwinter as eggs on branches and inside cracks in the bark, and hatch in spring. The hatched larvae cause damage on leaves and new shoots. When the growth period reaches its peak, winged viviparous females appear in large numbers and move to other plants to cause damage. Apple Red MiteThis pest also overwinters as eggs. Most of the overwintering eggs are laid on the bud scales of 1 to 2 year old twigs. After mid-June, reproduction accelerates and the number of insects doubles. July every year is the most serious period of damage. The lack of nutrients that harms the crabapple trees causes a large number of adult insects to lay eggs for the winter. Integrated prevention and controlPrune infested branches at any time, or use tools to scrape off the insect bodies; spray 5% heavy diesel emulsion before the crabapple sprouts to prevent overwintering eggs; protect natural enemies of pests, such as ladybugs, birds, etc. Leaf-eating pestsNaviculaIt overwinters in the soil in the form of pupae.
