Abstract :Age distribution of Sitobion avenae (F.), Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) and Sipha (Rungsia) elegans Del Guercio, common cereal aphid species in Konya province of Turkey, were weekly observed by the study carried out during 1989-1990 in five localities. Population was started by alatae in S. avenae, by apterae in D. noxia, and by mostly apterae and also rarely alatae in S. (Rungsia) elegans. First, second and third nymphal periods had markedly the most percentage of population for every aphid species in all observation times except for last one. As for last observations, especially alatoids and alatae increased mostly with respect to senescing.Keywords : BUGDAY, YAŞ DAĞILIMI, YAPRAKBİTİ
