Trap Catches identified to June 06/15

And so it begins.....
Traps have begun to report and there have been some aphids flying already.  Including one Green Peach Aphid recovered from Ada, MN!

Not an auspicious start to the year but I suspect the winged GPA recovered in the trap is a recent immigrant to our fair Valley.  The winds were right for immigration events two weeks ago and we had rain, which would have brought airborne aphids to the ground.

While it's doubtful we have treatable populations of aphids in potatoes yet, this week's trap catch indicates it's never too early to start scouting...
