The brief heat wave last week brought the warmest temperatures of
the year to the Salinas Valley. Most crops have come through in
decent shape from the short-lived hot spell.
Texture and overall shelf life will likely be impacted for the short
term especially in the tender spinach, spring mix and baby leaf
items. Growers continue to battle mold, mildew and soil disease in
the stands as we move into summer harvests.
While overall quality remains generally good the warmer weather
has been conducive for insect populations to thrive. Aphids, thrips,
small flies and gnats continue to be problematic for growers. Thrips
are the vector that transmits the Invasive Necrotic Spot Virus
(INSV).
Growers are seeing some signs of INSV in current acreage, but it is
not a significant problem currently. Field personnel will be on the
lookout for thrips and INSV as the virus can spread rapidly and
cause significant crop loss. Growers are doing their best to mitigate
the insect pressure with traps, repellent and increased inspections
in the fields and plant.
