Too bad Canine Heritage is going out of the DNA testing business. I've had 4 mixed breed dogs tested by them, two of them also by Wisdom. Didn't send any pictures to either. Canine Heritage was quite accurate on all 4, whereas Wisdom faltered on both less than at least 50%.
The lettuce root aphid is a soil dweller that attacks lettuce roots in spring and summer, causing lettuce plants to wilt and occasionally die. In fall, this species often moves to poplar trees, where it overwinters in the egg stage and produces leaf galls in spring.
That`s because the tree secretes a substance called juglone from its leaves and root system, and it can retard growth or even kill some plants. One final word about controlllng aphids on your flowers: If garlic or onions aren`t among our favorite thing to grow, try using pieces of yellow paper coated with a sticky substance like Vaseline. When inserted in the canopy of a plant, the paper attracts aphids and they become stuck to the material.
