Greetings!
Aphid numbers remain high! This is mostly due to large numbers of soybean aphid but we are seeing large numbers of english grain, blackbean, and buckthorn aphids in certain locations as well.
We are seeing more green peach aphids in the traps, contributing to larger PVY Risk Indices. Motley is on top this week with an index value of 23.49 followed by Ada at 13.91.
Crookston, Erskine, Langdon, and Lake of the Woods are in good shape with risk indices at less than one.
As always, keep scouting!
