We also recovered 45 cabbage root fly eggs from the soil around 15 cauliflower plants.
We set up pheromone traps for silver Y moth, diamond-back moth and turnip moth on 18th April but none caught so far.
We have also caged some areas planted with narcissus in order to record emergence of large narcissus fly - none so far.
