PSYLLID UPDATE: AUG 2

More potato psyllids were trapped this week in potato fields in Canyon, Ada, Elmore, Gooding, Jerome, Twin Falls and Cassia Counties. Results from last week show three more positives for Lso, the bacterium that causes zebra chip, but incidence of Lso remains low (less than 5 percent).
