The feeding and excretion rates of nymphs of Aphis fabae, feeding on young leaves of Vicia faba, were studied, using host plants grown in water culture and made radioactive with 32P. The amounts of sap ingested at first were small but the rate of ingestion increased rapidly between 12 and 16 hr. The maximum rate of feeding was estimated at 0.2 mg sap/hr, an uptake of 59 per cent of the mean body weight of the insects per hour. The results are discussed in relation to other recent work on aphid feeding and excretion. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG DIE NAHRUNGSAUFNAHME- UND EXKRETIONSRATEN VON APHIS FABAE SCOP. AN VICIA FABA L.
