Aphids are among the major pests associated with strawberries in Southern Brasil. In this study, we identified the main species that occur in strawberry fields in the states of Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. We also compared the effectiveness of different sampling methods and studied the population dynamics of aphid species during two strawberry crop cycles in the municipality of Pinhais, state of Parana, Brasil. Chaetosiphon fragaefolii (Cockerell) and Aphis forbesi Weed were the main species associated with strawberry. The method of hit plant and the Moericke trap showed equal effectiveness to capture wingless and winged insects. The peak population of aphids in the state of Parana occurred from September to November. This information can help producers to implement strategies to monitor and control the major aphid species that occur in strawberry culture.
