Aphid Alert July 13, 2018

Trap Catches Identified to July 13th

Greetings!

Hope everyone is staying cool out there! This week, we are seeing a slight increase in vector pressure and total aphids captured. With 13 sites reporting, we recovered 18 total vectors - most notably 5 from Moran and 5 from Lake of the Woods.

As we have stated in the past couple of weeks, recovering fewer aphids from the traps does not mean we should hold off or slow down on scouting. We have spotted a few aphids in our Becker, MN plots this past week - so keep your eyes open!

As always, keep on scouting!

Aphid Alert July 6, 2018

Trap Catches Identified to July 6th

Greetings!

Welcome back from the holiday week, hope you had a great July 4th.  For the third week in a row, we have recovered few aphids with very little vector pressure. With 8 sites reporting, we recovered 3 total vectors - 2 from Perham and 1 from Lake of the Woods. We did find 1 Green Peach Aphid from Perham.

As we stated last week, recovering fewer aphids from the traps does not mean we should hold off or slow down on scouting. With the rain and standing water dissipating, that will leave open spots or sections of soil. These open spots are a huge target for aphids as they tend to be more attracted to plants directly next to bare soil.

Keep on scouting!
