Carrot fly captures at Wellesbourne
We stopped monitoring most pests a couple of weeks ago but have continued to monitor carrot fly. Recent captures are as follows (on 3 traps):
13 October 10
16 October 10
19 October 13
26 October 17
2 November 29
These captures suggest that there is a small third generation. These flies are not a threat to carrot crops as even if they lay eggs, any resulting larvae are unlikely to develop sufficiently to cause damage.
