ABSTRACT = {Aphids and aphidophagous insects were monitored in a pecan orchard by 
enumerating the insects collected on leaf samples and suction trap 
samples. Season long monitoring of the pecan foliage revealed that the 
aphid abundance prior to the late season outbreak on the leaves 
increased to higher population levels than could not be explained by the
 reproductive potential of the aphids. Concomitant season long sampling 
of the air in the canopy indicated that fecund alate aphids were 
continuously abundant in the air both before and between the outbreaks 
on the leaves. The results have important implications for improving 
scouting methods to predict aphid outbreaks and facilitate insecticide 
applications for aphid control.},
