I have some outdoor plants that appear to be thriving, but I have recently found root aphids crawling all over the outside of my pots. The plants are just starting to flower so I'm guessing another 2-3 months before harvest.
I ordered some Botanigard 22WP, but am also curious if anyone simply ignores root aphids? Can you still get a decent harvest at this point? My plants are all 5+ feet tall, green, and vigorous. Big stems and root ball. No signs of sickness. I am hesitant to start a heavy treatment.
I'd probably be OK losing some % of harvest rather than risking stressing the plant with too many pesticides. Or is this considered more of an emergency.. like once you spot them you are doomed kind of thing? Thanks!
