CAPS - Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey

Survey Manuals

The purpose of the Solanaceous Hosts Survey is to detect new infestations of targeted solanaceous hosts pest species at low population levels. Solanaceous hosts include eggplant, pepper, potato, tobacco, and tomato. The Solanaceous Hosts Survey Reference provides standardized guidelines for conducting a Solanaceous Hosts detection survey in the United States and its territories.

The Solanaceous Hosts Survey Reference consists of an Introduction and individual pest datasheets. The individual pest datasheets are posted as free-standing documents (below).
