The Potato Council has launched its aphid monitoring campaign for this season to provide growers with the latest information on the activity of crop-damaging pests.
A network of 100 yellow water traps set up to monitor aphid movements across different parts of the country were live for this season.
Potato growers can be alerted when aphids are on the move in their area by signing up for free text and email alerts.
For detailed information, log on to the monitoring web site, hosted by FERA, via a link on the Potato Council's website www.potato.org.uk
The aphid traps have been set up earlier this year to give growers advance notice of which species are flying before significant crop emergence occurs.
