Abstract
Relevance. Northern territories are most suitable for virus-free potato seed production due to the low infection background and weak activity of aphids that carry viral infections. The aphidofauna of the Arkhangelsk region has been poorly studied. This work is a generalization of the results of many years of catching winged aphids on potato plantings.
Methods. Winged aphids were caught with yellow water traps and identified using insect identifiers.
Results. During the research period, 43 species of aphids were identified, with populations in different years ranging from 61 to 1778 individuals. Of these, 12 species have the ability to spread potato viruses: Aсyrthosiphon pisum Harr., Aphis fabae Scop., Aphis nasturtii Kalt., Aulocorthum solani Kalt., Brevicoryne brassicae L., Cavariella aegopodii Scop., Hyperomyzus lactucae L., Lipaphis erysimi Kalt., Macrosiphum euphorbiae Thomas, Metopolophium dirhodum Walk., Rhopalosiphum padi L. и Sitobion avenae F. Aphid vectors of potato viruses in the annual population structure accounted for 62–98%, the most numerous representatives of the species A. fabae Scop., A. nasturtii Kalt., H. lactucae L., Rh. padi L. The obtained data allowed us to assess the region by the prevalence of aphid vectors of viral infection, which ranged from low (14–22 individuals per year per 1 trap) to medium (415 insects per 1 trap per year). Winged aphids visited plantings throughout the entire period of potato vegetation, therefore, in the conditions of the northern part of the Arkhangelsk region, it is necessary to carry out measures to protect potato plants.
