Greetings!
This week we are starting to see some major aphid captures. Soybean aphid numbers of ballooned with six sites collected them in the double digits. Starting to see more English grain aphid in some areas as well. More importantly, we caputred 12 green peach aphids this week from four locations including seven from Ada. Ada had a whopping 107 vectors with a PVY Risk Index of 21.4. Other locations with high PVY Risk Indices include Perham (7.91), Sabin (6.27), Motley (5.82), and Crookston (5.41). The Langdon, Sabin, and Tappen traps all had PVY Risk Indices below 1.0.
Keep Scouting!
