6 • Model displays the general risk of aphid propagation.
• Risk is shown between 0 to 100%.
• Low risk is characterized by periods of cool temperatures and dry conditions.
• Warm and humid periods favor development and are risky periods (80 to 100%)
• Very humid or long leaf wetness periods can promote fungal death in aphids, helping control the population.
