Despite the weather turning cooler at the start of December, winged aphids are still being found in wheat crops across the south. There has been a distinct lack of repeated hard frosts which would kill the generation of aphids. It may therefore be appropriate to apply a pyrethroid based spray to prevent BYDV spread in crops, depending on when the last spray was applied.
