Sources and Spread
There are two main sources by which a cereal crop might be infected
1. By non-migrant wingless aphids already present in the field and which colonise newly-emerging crops. This is known as "green-bridge transfer".
2. By winged aphids migrating into crops from elsewhere. These then reproduce and the offspring spread to neighbouring plants.

Famous quotes containing the words sources and/or spread:
“No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the sources of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Every thought is public,
Every nook is wide;
Thy gossips spread each whisper,
And the gods from side to side.”
