Identification and life history of aphids associated with chili pepper crops in southwestern Colombia

Viral diseases, transmitted by aphids, are the most limiting problems in chili pepper crops. Understanding the demographic features of these aphids, may thus assist the design of better disease control strategies in chili peppers. Aphid species found in chili pepper crops in southwestern Colombi...
