Codling moth trap catches have remained steady. Apple sawfly damage has been observed but appears to be less than last year. CPB and cucumber beetle are also causing some grief. Report not available. Whiteflies are still a problem in spots in some operations whereas in others, well-established populations of the whitefly parasite, Encarsia formosa, are suppressing the whiteflies to very low numbers.
Most crops also have spots of spider mites.
A heavy infestation of leaf miners has also been observed in one operation and more operations have reported infestation of tomato pinworm. Lepidopteran pests are on the rise, particularly cabbage loopers. Flea beetles have been reported to be doing damage to one crop. No new reports of bacterial canker have been made. Powdery mildew have infected most operations but are generally under control.
