Just a quick update on aphids in the field. – from Chris DiFonzo

Aphid numbers are still variable across the state. However, in areas where aphid numbers have increased, the increase was incredibly FAST. For example, numbers at the Bean and Beet research farm south of Saginaw went from 10-20 per plant to 500-600 per plant in just seven days. Overnight, from the day of counting, plants went from ‘clean looking ’ with 500-600 aphids per plant, to honeydew-covered with even more aphids per plant. Not only are aphids increasing, but winged aphids are also distributing around the landscape, and adding new babies to plants. Last week, the trap on the MSU campus had the highest winged trap catch (96 aphids) of any of the suction traps running in the Midwest.
