Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are important agricultural pests in sub-Saharan Africa. These pests are primarily controlled by the use of synthetic insecticides, which has consequently led to the emergence of insecticide resistant aphid populations as well as negative impacts on non-target organisms. Resistant crop varieties offer a sustainable approach to manage aphids. Despite regions of sub-Saharan Africa suffering greater crop losses due to pests, there is only limited availability of genetic engineering and other modern plant breeding technologies. Here we consider whether induced mutagenesis can contribute to the sustainable management of aphid pests or whether the lack of research in this area reflects the limitations of this approach.
