What is a "cotton aphid"?

A cotton aphid is a common pest that affects cotton plants and other crops. These small insects are typically green or yellowish in color and feed on the sap of the host plants. Cotton aphids can reproduce rapidly, leading to population explosions under favorable conditions. Infestations of cotton aphids can cause significant damage to cotton crops by stunting plant growth, reducing yield, and transmitting plant diseases. Farmers employ various management techniques to control cotton aphid populations, including the use of insecticides, natural predators, and resistant crop varieties.
