Cotton aphids can be problematic.

The article focuses on the cotton aphids which can be a problem in the agricultural productivity. Bio-control control of cotton aphids has become the producers' main line of defense. Because of the low cotton acreage typically requiring treatment for early tobacco budworms and plant bugs, predators and parasites often hold aphids to sub economic levels. Despite substantial potential assistance from beneficial organisms, cotton aphid populations, though sporadic, are often widespread and persistent, at times resulting in maturity delays and possible yield losses, particularly if this damage occurs when the cotton is under drought stress.
