Pest update 24th March
We set up 3 yellow water traps on Tuesday and checked both these and the 3 carrot fly traps today.
We captured 2 carrot flies, 1 Orthops spp. and 7 male and 3 female cabbage root flies. Once they have emerged, female cabbage root flies require about 80 day-degrees above 6°C to feed, mate and mature their eggs - so there is unlikely to be significant egg-laying for a while.
