Cabbage aphid colonyCabbage Aphid
Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus)
These aphids are pale green
and up to 3 mm in size. They are covered with a
grayish bloom of wax secreted from
their skin. Colonies feeding on canola can stop
terminal growth, reducing plant size and yield.
Leaves and other plant parts can be curled or
deformed when populations become large.
