BYDV vector monitoring sites needed in York and Hereford

[Brid @ ADAS]

As part of a BYDV management project with AHDB, we are hoping to find winter cereal sites willing to host insect survey suction traps to catch aphids known to spread cereal viruses like BYDV. Our entomologists will use these to monitor their numbers. We're looking for sites around YO41 1LN and HR1 3PF in the red, yellow and blue zones below. Are you able to help?

If you can and are happy to get involved, contact our entomologist Daniel at [email protected] with your location and drilling date and he'll get back to you to tell you more about the project and to get started.
Thank you!

Shame that I'm outside the York zone. I used to host trials for the GWCT for aphid monitoring in a previous job.
