Abstract

Among the pests infesting potato crops, green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) represents one of the most virulent insects. A survey was conducted in different potato fields in Kosovo during 2000-2001 growing season to assess Myzus persicae build up and distribution. In this respect, the survey was set up in three most important localities for potato production in Kosovo: Vuçitrn, Podujevo and Dragash. Aphid monitoring was conducted using the common method of aphid-leaf count (Raman, 1984). Based on the results of the survey, significant differences in aphid build up and distribution were observed with regard to the surveyed localities, years of survey and their interaction.
