Fifth weekly update on psyllid traps
Status as at 24/12/2010: Graphs have not been updated yet, this will be done next week. Only the data tables have been updated. Numbers of TPP are increasing in most areas, as are those of “other psyllids”. Extremely high northwest winds were experienced in the Canterbury district for the 21st and 22nd of December, this has likely caused a reduction in psyllid flight and traps are likely to be less attractive due to amount of surface soil attached to traps.
See most recent data tables and graphs.
Each week Potatoes New Zealand reports on the number of tomato potato psyllids (TPP) and other species of psyllids in the psyllid traps to help growers monitor and control for the potato tomato psyllid. Traps are localed in Pukekohe, Waikato, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury. Numbers of tomato potato psyllids (TPP) and other species of psyllids are reported.
