\n| Leek Moth<\/a><\/td>\n | Onions\/Garlic<\/td>\n | Farmers are reporting leek moth larvae in leeks. See recent highlights above.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Striped Cucumber Beetle<\/a><\/td>\n | Squash\/Cucumber<\/td>\n | We are still seeing the remnants of bacterial wilt in various squash and cucumber plots.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Squash Bug<\/a><\/td>\n | Squash<\/td>\n | Squash bug nymph infestations have really picked up due to egg masses beginning to hatch. Though most plants are tolerating the infestations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Flea Beetle<\/a><\/td>\n | Broccoli\/ Kale<\/td>\n | Flea beetle populations are rebounding and we are seeing increasing damage in late season brassica plantings. Damage in beets is also being reported on farms in the northeast.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Swede Midge<\/a><\/td>\n | Kale\/Broccoli<\/td>\n | Swede midge damage continues to be found extensively in susceptible brassica crops and the highest pressure we\u2019re seeing is in russian kale varieties, Brussels, and collards. A reminder that the tell-tale \u201cblind heads\u201d and scaring can generally be found at the center of the plant. Also, any strange growth like twisted leaves and stunted growth may also be a sign of infestations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Imported Cabbage Worm<\/a>, Diamondback Moth<\/a><\/td>\n | Broccoli and Kale<\/td>\n | Cabbage Whites continue to be seen flying around brassica plots. Brassicas are tolerating ICW damage.\u00a0Diamondback moth\u00a0chrysalises are being found frequently.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Squash Vine Borer<\/a><\/td>\n | Winter and summer Squash<\/td>\n | Squash vine borer has largely not been a problem on many of the farms that we\u2019ve been visiting this summer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Onion Thrips<\/a>, Onion Downy Mildew<\/td>\n | Onions<\/td>\n | Thrips damage is extensive in onions across the region. Many farmers are reporting considerable amounts of onion thrips damage.\u00a0However, with the harvest of most onions occurring in the region, control measures have largely been abandoned.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| Tomato\/Tobacco Hornworm<\/a><\/td>\n | Tomato<\/td>\n | We\u2019re seeing more caterpillars arrive in tomato plots.
