| The current threshold for late vegetative beans with actively increasing aphid populations is 250 aphids per plant. |
| Communication of aphid attack between plants has recently been shown to involve other volatiles. |
| Maintain strict aphid control at all times, especially in late spring and early summer when aphid populations are highest. |
| Heavy aphid infestations, lacking predator activity, may warrant rescue treatment. |
