Greenbugs in Wheat

Greenbugs and greenbug mummies 
Greenbugs continue to persist in many wheat and other small grain fields. The threshold for greenbugs in wheat at this time of the growing season considering a grain value of $6.50 and a control cost of $12/acre is an average 3 greenbugs/tiller. Greenbugs suck plant juices and inject toxins into plants. These aphids are pale green, approximately 1⁄16 inch long, with a dark green stripe on their back.
