Tomato Commodity Survey

Abstract

A CAPS (Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey) of tomatoes was conducted for one exotic insect pest and three exotic tomato diseases. A total of 13 farms in 12 counties were surveyed bi-weekly for both the insect and disease pests. Suspect samples were sent in to either Cornell’s Insect Diagnostic Lab or Cornell’s Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic. No positive samples were found on any of the 13 farms surveyed.
