Trap Catches to July 01, 2022.
The year has started out slowly in some spots, with delayed plantings in many northern locations. The traps have been running in a few locations for a couple of weeks but very little is being collected so far. Seems the aphids may be getting a slow start as well. A grand total of 7 vector aphids have been collected over the past 2 weeks and the vector risk is correspondingly low in those locations that are trapping. As more traps come online, we'll see if the pattern is widespread. So far it's been a thin mix of Cotton/Melon aphids, some thistle aphids and a Buckthorn aphid or two.
Weather is changeable, and warmer temperatures may favor the development of aphid populations, so the situation may well change...
Keep scouting, we'll keep counting...
