Psyllid captures still low; no new Lso-positives

• This week we received traps from 47 fields that we are monitoring.
• We captured a total of 9 psyllids spread across 8 fields.
• Captures were from the following counties: Payette, Canyon, Jerome, Gooding, and Twin Falls.
• The 3 psyllids captured last week all tested negative for Lso.
• For psyllids captured this week, we expect to have results on Lso incidence next week.

Psyllid captures this week were lower than at this time last year, and more similar to the low captures we observed early in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. With relatively low psyllid captures so far and only one Lso-positive psyllid detected so far, ZC risk appears to be low this year. That could change as the season progresses and temperatures rise, so stay tuned.
