Pest update from Wellesbourne

Between Friday and yesterday (7 November) we found the following:

On 3 sticky traps:

• 1 carrot fly

In 3 water traps in a plot of swedes.

• No cabbage root flies
• 13 bean seed flies
• 2 pollen beetles

We have stopped sampling for cabbage root fly eggs.

We caught 2 silver Y moths in our pheromone traps.

We removed all but the carrot fly traps yesterday. We'll keep the carrot fly traps out throught the winter to understand a bit more about their overwintering biology.
