Latest update on Rothamsted suction trap captures

A new edition of the Rothamsted Insect Survey Aphid Bulletin has been published (week ending 26th June). The latest edition of AHDB APHID News is here.

• Peach-potato aphids were captured at 12 sites but numbers were considerably less than last week at sites towards the south.
• The cabbage aphid was caught at 5 sites, but in low numbers (maximum 8 at Hereford).
• Willow ̶carrot aphids were caught at 12 sites but, compared with the previous week, fewer were caught at all sites - with the exception of Newcastle.
• The pea aphid was caught at 9 sites, with highest numbers at Broom's Barn (14).
• Starcross continues as a hotspot for black bean aphids (28) with few (maximum 2) captured elsewhere.
• A single currant-lettuce aphid (Nasonovia ribisnigri) was caught at Kirton.
• Numbers of parnsip aphids (Cavariella pastinaceae and Cavariella theobaldi) were very low.
