Psyllid captures slightly lower this week; all psyllids from last week Lso negative

• This week we received traps from 54 of the 55 fields that we are monitoring.
• We captured a total of 92 psyllids spread across 23 fields.
• Captures were from the following counties: Canyon, Jerome, Twin Falls, Cassia, and Minidoka.
• Of the 123 psyllids captured last week, none of them tested positive for Lso.
• For psyllids captured this week, we expect to have results on Lso incidence next week.

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 moderately high psyllid captures and relatively low Lso prevalence. Psyllid captures often peak around late July to August, so we will have to see whether captures climb next week. Much of the psyllid pressure continues to be focused in the Treasure Valley. Relatively few psyllids have been captured in our Magic Valley sites, and scarcely any over the season in our Upper Snake sites.
