Potato Psyllid
Posted on: May 26, 2017 by Lucy Standley
We retrieved our first set of sticky traps from potato fields this season and found on these cards our first potato psyllids for the 2017 potato season.
Potato psyllids were collected on sticky traps in potato in the following counties: Twin Falls (1 field), Minidoka (2 fields).
This week, we collected 3 psyllids from sticky cards (2 from Light sites and 1 from Intense sites).
We had traps deployed in 17 of the estimated 73 fields (23%) that will be monitored this year and found psyllids in 3 of the monitored fields (17.6%).
