Trap Catches Identified to June 29

Greetings!


Welcome to the first Aphid Alert of 2017.  The traps are out and running, aphids are coming in and we’re off to an interesting start.
It seems the colder than average summer hasn’t kept the aphids away.  With 3 locations already reporting, we’ve seen some vector species already including 2 Green Peach Aphids from McVille, North Dakota!  Just remember, it’s never too early to scout!

UPDATE - 7 more sites reported in this week - Ada had a big capture and Green peach aphids have been recovered in Ada and Hoople as well.  This gives us 3 sites so far this year that have recovered Green peach.  It's still early days but it's looking like we might be in for an aphid year....
