Pest update from Wellsbourne

We are now emptying the traps weekly rather than twice-weekly.

Between 14th and 20th November our 3 yellow water traps captured:

• Cabbage root flies - 1 male and 0 female
• Bean seed flies - 12
• Pollen beetles - 1
• Flea beetles - 7
• Cabbage stem weevil - 0
• Cabbage seed weevil - 0
• Cabbage stem flea beetle - 2

We caught 1 carrot fly on 3 sticky traps in our second sowing of carrots.

There were no diamond-back moths, no silver Y moths, no cabbage moths and 2 turnip moths in our pheromone traps (2 traps per pest).

We are no longer taking samples for cabbage root fly eggs.
