How to control aphids in wheat (gehu mein mahu)?

Aphids appear as small green or black insects clustered on leaves and ears, usually in February during warm, dry spells, and they suck sap and excrete sticky honeydew. Many years natural enemies like ladybird beetles control them on their own, so scout before spraying. Spray only if aphid numbers are high and rising and ladybirds are few. Use a recommended insecticide such as imidacloprid or thiamethoxam at the label dose in 200 litres of water per acre. Avoid unnecessary sprays that kill ladybirds and other helpful insects. Balanced nitrogen and avoiding very lush growth also reduce aphid build-up.
