April 27, 2018

The second edition of AHDB Aphid News - for the week ending 22 April 2018 - has just been released:

Despite record breaking temperatures during this bulletin week, the total number of aphids flying and species diversity increased only slightly.

The first willow ̶ carrot aphid was caught at Starcross this bulletin week, three days earlier than the 10-year mean.
No peach–potato aphids (Myzus persicae), potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) or the black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) have been caught so far this year.

Between 24th April and 27th April our 3 yellow water traps captured:

We also checked the carrot fly traps and caught 5 flies - our first in 2018!

There were no diamond-back or silver Y moths in our traps (2 traps per pest).

There were 6 cabbage root fly eggs from 15 plants!
