Abstract:
Aphids are common, widespread pests of lettuce crops that can difficult to control using organic methods. Romaine lettuce grown at Warren Wilson College, North Carolina were sprayed with two homemade sprays (garlic and habanero) and the commercial Safer soap to control aphids. A comparison between the sprays show that garlic spray is the most efficient control agent for aphids.
