Psyllid captures remain relatively low; one more Lso positive

• This week we received traps from ­­38 of the 58 fields that we are monitoring; two of our crop consultant collaborators were not able to get to their fields this week but we expect to get those traps next week.
• We captured a total of 16 psyllids across 5 fields.
• Captures were from the following counties: Payette, Canyon, Owyhee, and Twin Falls.
• One of the psyllids collected last week tested positive for Lso.

Psyllid captures were relatively low again this week and similar to the captures observed at this time during the last two years. Of course, we did not receive traps from several fields, but last week most of those fields showed zero psyllid captures (and a few had one capture), so we may expect to see only a slight increase in the total captures when we get those trap captures added to the tallies. One Lso-positive psyllid from last week was from Payette County. We continue to see a smattering of Lso-positives psyllids over this season; however, the relatively low psyllid captures overall should mitigate risk of ZC.
