Potato Psyllid

Posted on: June 1, 2018 by Lucy Standley

One potato psyllid was collected on a sticky trap in potato in the following county: Canyon (1 field).

This week, we collected one psyllid from sticky cards (1 light site).

We had traps deployed in 50 of the estimated 88 fields (57%) that will be monitored this year and found one psyllid in one of the monitored fields (1.13%).
