Pest update from Wellesbourne

Between Tuesday (29th) and Friday (1st) we found:

• 16 carrot flies on traps in this year's carrots (3 traps) (it really looks as if some of the population are aestivating due to the hot weather)
• Total of 72 cabbage root fly eggs from around 15 cauliflower plants.
• There was 1 turnip moth, no diamond-back moths or silver Y moths (2 traps per species).

The 3 yellow water traps caught:

• 5 male and 8 female cabbage root flies
• 18 bean seed flies
• 4 pollen beetles
• 71 flea beetles
