Listen to find out how these invaders can make new aphids develop wings, make plants more attractive to aphids, and weaken their defenses so that the insects can more readily spread the viruses to more hosts. The duo also describes a very useful horticultural resource: The Dirr Manual, as well as a mystery plant that they need listener help to identify. Enjoy!
