Greetings!
Aphid numbers are up in some areas, down in others. We are still seeing high numbers of soybean aphid and higher numbers of green peach aphid that are contributing to high PVY Risk. Hopefully the recent cool weather will lower numbers for the coming week!
The PVY Vector Risk Index numbers on the table represent the amount of pressure in comparison to green peach aphids that is occurring at any given site. The cumulative seasonal PVY-VRI for trap contents identified up until Aug 24 for all sites is presented on the first map, the second is the total regional PVY-VRI from 2014.
