Explanation

Aphids are often called farmers' enemy No.1 because they are extremely destructive, attacking a wide variety of crops by sucking plant sap, transmitting viral diseases, and reproducing rapidly. They cause global yield losses worth billions of dollars annually. While locusts, bollworm, and stem borer are major pests, aphids have the broadest host range and most consistent economic impact across crops and regions.
