Status as at 20th January 2012. Psyllid numbers in sites in the Hawkes Bay and Manawatu continue to remain at the highest levels compared to other sites around New Zealand but this week’s trapping figures have shown a decline in numbers. Psyllids levels in Hawkes Bay currently average just over 5 and 7 TPP/trap for Hawkes Bay and Manawatu respectively. For sites in Pukekohe and all South Island sites psyllid numbers remain low or zero where data is available at the time of reporting.
