How to recognize and combat aphids on carrots

Caraviella aegopodii, Myzus persicae and Aphis spp. They are phytophagous insects commonly known as aphids. These small winged or wingless insects feed by sucking plant sap. Their life cycle includes several stages, beginning with laying eggs on the leaves and stems of host plants. Nymphs emerge from the eggs and, through successive molts, become adults in approximately one week under favorable conditions. Adults can reproduce both sexually and asexually, with some species capable of producing viviparous clones. Aphids can form large colonies in a short time, especially in warm, humid weather conditions.
