SURVEY: <br />MDA Report <br />Trapping  Trap <br />removal is done <br />in southern <br />Minnesota and <br />wrapping up in <br />northern <br />Minnesota. With <br />the late start to <br />the summer, <br />there are areas <br />of the North <br />Shore that have <br />not and wont <br />reach the 1500 <br />DD threshold for <br />the end of EAB <br />activity. No <br />suspect EAB have <br />been found on <br />traps in <br />Minnesota this <br />year. <br /> <br />Degree day accumulations from UW Extension Ag Weather: <br /> <br />http://www.soils.wisc.edu/uwex_agwx/thermal_models/tree <br /> <br /> <br />Winter Scouting  MDA and USDA will be <br />scouting for EAB in non-quarantined <br />areas during December and January. We <br />will use the EAB risk model/map <br />developed by Louis Iverson and <br />colleagues  US Forest Service to direct <br />this work. We will concentrate on high- <br />risk areas bordering quarantined areas of <br />Minnesota and Wisconsin. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EAB Risk Map developed by <br /> <br />Iverson, et al. This map was <br /> <br />produced prior to the find of <br /> <br />EAB in Superior, Wisconsin. A <br /> <br />new map is being created to <br /> <br />reflect the risk posed by that <br /> <br />new find. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
