- Canola should be scouted bi-weekly for aphids.
- Treat for aphids when populations exceed:
- 2 per plant in the seedling stage.
- 5 per leaf in the rosette stage.
- or when 20% of the heads are infested during bloom.

4) Management Options:
Biological Control:
- Several natural enemies help to regulate aphid populations.
Chemical control:
- Do not treat late-blooming canola for aphids because
populations usually decline after bloom.

- Sample (sweep net) when the
temperature is above 20°C and the crop
canopy is dry.
