Aphid, Cabbage

Brevicoryne brassicae
Cabbage Aphid

Treat Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower if greater than 10% of the plants are infested with aphids anytime after heads or sprouts begin to form. Aphids tend to be more of a problem in fall plantings and on broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
