Summer 1999: Aphid trapping data.
Results reported in this issue of Aphid Alert are total captures of winged aphids and species identifications for the following locations and sampling interval end-dates. Data for missing locations will be incorporated into this week's issue of the newsletter as the data becomes available.
During the week ending 20 July, green peach aphid captures remained at essentially the same level per trap as in the previous week. We anticipate green peach captures in the traps will remain relative stable until they start moving from potatoes. This begin in early August as the potato crop matures and aphid numbers on commericial potato production increases. Captures of PVY vectors (counts here include potato aphid, but not green peach aphid) increased about 45% over the previous week. This increase in PVY vectors probably reflects the maturation of small grains and canola causing the insects to seek alternative hosts.
We have been contacted by several seed potato growers interested in the use of mineral oils as a possible means of reducing the spread of PVY. For more information on this see Robert Suranyi's report, Crop borders and Mineral Oil: Two tactics for management of PVY in seed potatoes.
