Pest update from Wellesbourne

Between Tuesday (27th) and Friday (30th) we found:

  • 73 carrot flies on traps in this year's carrots (3 traps)
  • 6 winged willow-carrot aphids on 3 x 0.5 m lengths of carrot row (29 May)

In the 3 water traps in the 'new' cauliflower plot:

  • 1 male and 12 female cabbage root flies
  • 53 bean seed flies
  • 11 pollen beetles
  • 1 flea beetle

We collected a total of 15 cabbage root fly eggs from around 15 cauliflower plants (planted 15 April).

There were no diamond-back or silver Y moths, but we caught two turnip moths (cutworm).
