Tuliptree Aphid Honeydew Management    (View PDF)

Steve H. Dreistadt and Donald L. Dahlsten

Abstract: Aphids are important pests in the urban forest because of the honeydew which they produce. A method for field monitoring honeydew has been developed to assist in the management of the aphid Illinoia llriodendri on tuliptrees, Liriodendron tulipifera. Monitoring can assist in timing the application of aphid control tactics and may provide for more effective honeydew management. However, the most economical long-term solution to pest prone street trees may be to replace them.
