60. RLA Management Considerations1,2
• Recent pest in lettuce in CA
• Not known to transmit viruses in lettuce
• Does not develop clumped colonies like GPA
• Disperses to interior of head & inner leaf stalks vs frame leaves
• Population can increase rapidly, 15-fold faster than GPA
• RLA aphid can be difficult to wash from head interior

• PCAs indicate no tolerance for RLA at any lettuce stage
Editor's Notes
here are several management considerations for RLA:UCIPM1-RLA is a relatively recent pest in Lettuce in CA 2-Not known to transmit viruses in lettuce. 3-Develops colonies that are not clumped like GP Palumbo4-Disperses rapidly into the head and establishing in the heart or lower inner leaf tissue where insecticide coverage can be challenging.5-Populations can increase 15-fold faster than GPA under moderate Coastal conditions - common in the Salinas ValleyLocal conversationsPCAs have no tolerance for pest from emergence until harvestUCIPMPrimary primary natural enemies of RLA are lacewing and Syrphid fly larvae
