Overall psyllid captures were slightly lower than last week, and captures were similar to those observed at this time in 2020 and 2021 (the last time we had relatively high captures). Thankfully, no Lso was detected in psyllids last week. Risk of ZC continues to be moderate to low this year given this combination of…
Psyllid captures this week were higher than at this time last year, though Lso incidence is still relatively low at this time. Psyllid captures appear to be creeping up a bit, which is not surprising given the high temperatures and the time of the season. Overall captures this year have so far tended to be…

This is the final report of the 2025 potato psyllid / Lso monitoring season. Among the 11 psyllids captured last week, two tested positive for Lso, the bacterium associated with zebra chip disease (ZC). Overall captures have been remarkably similar for the last three years. About 10% of all psyllids tested positive for Lso this…
