Spotted Lanternfly Update
While there are currently no known infestations in New York State we continue to find spotted lanternfly (SLF) hitchhiking into New York State. As you can see in the map below, SLF has been reported in 11 New York counties. Because there are no know infestation our current management strategy is based on proper identification and reporting spottedlanternfly@dec.ny.gov. The current life stage(s) to be vigilant for are egg masses (photo). Spotted lanternfly appear to be willing to lay their eggs on any surface so it is important to be vigilant in inspecting anything coming out of the quarantined areas. First instar nymphs will be emerging soon and can be identified by the white spots on their black bodies.

Assess Your Freeze Damage
Assess Your Freeze Damage with a MyEV data Collector- By Terry BatesFreeze damage across eastern U.S. vineyards was highly variable this week depending on the stage of bud development, air temperatures, and vineyard location. Assessing bud damage over the next two weeks will help growers determine the size and variation in crop potential, adjust management practices, and record damage for crop insurance. In this video, Terry Bates shows you how to set up and use a MyEV data collector and a smartphone to collect and map freeze damage observations in your vineyard.
