AbstractThis chapter focuses primarily on aphid pest management in cucurbits grown in the USA, but will also refer to strategies used in other countries, particularly for the management of aphids on cucumbers under protected cultivation. Specific sections on the aphid-vectored viruses affecting cucurbits, management options for aphids and aphid-vectored viruses in cucurbits (chemical, biological and cultural control, host plant resistance, cross-protection) and current IPM programmes in the USA, are also provided.
