- A field study from 2012-2013 in Idaho investigated how non-colonizing aphids, particularly those from cereal crops, disperse to potato fields as the grains mature and dry down before harvest.
- Findings showed that cereal aphids were the most numerous and that their population peaked during cereal ripening, correlating with an increase in PVY prevalence in potato fields, highlighting the role of these
