Pest update from Wellesbourne

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

Between 16th and 23rd October our 3 yellow water traps captured:

• Cabbage root flies - 0 male and 0 female
• Bean seed flies - 27
• Pollen beetles - 20
• Flea beetles - 13
• Cabbage stem weevil - 1
• Cabbage seed weevil - 0
• Cabbage stem flea beetle - 1

We caught 19 carrot flies on 3 sticky traps in our second sowing of carrots.

There were no diamond-back moths, 2 silver Y moths, no cabbage moths and 1 turnip moth in our pheromone traps (2 traps per pest).

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