First carrot fly of 2017
We found the first carrot fly of the year on a sticky trap yesterday. The set of 3 traps had been in place for a week and there have been traps in the field near our overwintered carrots all winter.
In 2016 we caught our first carrot fly between 23rd February and 1st March and even though we caught a few more flies in March and early April the main period of activity was at the 'normal' time - in late April and May.
