Izvleček:Aphids represent a crucial hazard to agricultural activity in organic crops, and integrated pest management assists farmers in addressing and minimizing these hazards. As this method is based on the application of various techniques together, it is a highly effective solution for this type of problem. This work was developed as a non-experimental bibliographic research, through the use of synthesis, analysis and summary of the information collected. The main species of aphids that affect horticultural crops are the following: Aphis fabae, Aphis gossypii and Myzus persicae. Aphids attack young shoots, causing a reduction in plant vigor; as a result, the infected part turns yellow; In addition, secondary fungi reduce the growth and yield of vegetables. Aphids cause indirect damage, because they are vectors of various viruses and cause economic losses; Honeydew, produced by aphids, helps the fungus thrive. Cultural practices for aphid control are based on: living barriers, high planting densities and trap crops, which contribute to the reduction of pest insect populations. The most used botanical extracts against aphids are: Azadirachta indica (A.Juss.); Allium sativum (L.) Ruta graveolans (L.); Tagetes erecta (L.); Cinnamomun verum (L.); Quassia amara (L.).
