We also checked the carrot fly traps and caught 23 flies on 3 traps in overwintered carrots and 321 flies on 3 traps in spring-sown carrots.

There were no diamond-back moths, silver Y moths, cabbage moths or turnip moths in our traps (2 traps per pest).

There were 28 cabbage root fly eggs around our 15 brassica plants.
