There are several different researchers doing studies at our farm this year. This one involves aphids on potatoes and the thing in the picture is an insect trap. This is a picture of a bed of potatoes before they sprouted. The one green plant behind the trap is tobacco. The researchers planted them among the potatoes as part of their study. We also have studies involving the Swede midge, tomato pests and diseases and the Colorado potato beetle.
