Abstract: In this study, the green apple aphid Aphis pomi de Geer (1773) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is reported infesting apples for the first time from Kargil, Ladakh from May 2020 to October 2021. The potential pest was trapped along with woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann) rosy apple aphid Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini) using yellow yellow sticky trap and green water trap. It has been found that all the three aphid species cause significant damage to apple orchards in this particular region.
