    “Aphis craccivora is a well-documented pest of Vigna unguiculata; reduced LAD and stunting in susceptible cultivars is biologically consistent with aphid herbivory mechanics.”

  • entomologist · plausible

    “Aphis craccivora is a well-documented pest of Vigna unguiculata; herbivory causing reduced LAD and stunting in susceptible cultivars is biologically consistent with aphid feeding damage.”
