Three Useful Insect Cages

Abstract

Three types of cages, suitable for rearing potato-infesting aphids on whole plants, parts of plants, and excised leaves, have been developed during aphid investigations at the Fredericton laboratory. These cages have been used in the greenhouse and insectary with the four potato-infesting aphids Myzus persicae (Sulz.), Macrosiphum solanifolii (Ashm.), Aphis abbreviata Patch, and Aulacorthum solani (Kltb.).
