- Abstract
The article presents a study that identified the aphid pest species in Himalayan highland conifers in Kashmir. The study investigated the factors that contribute in the infestation of aphids/adelgids during dry winter and the species variation from six natural forest sites. It examined the interaction between aphids and their host trees, revealing no apparent indication of genetic variation among the conifer trees. The severity of physiological drought was cited for the less attack on the pine trees from the study site.
