Pest sitings

Active pollen beetles (in picture) were seen in south-east England on 14 April, the same day they were seen in Gloucestershire (see previous blog). Infestations of thrips have been observed on overwintered onions - also in south-east England.

When we checked our traps at Wellesbourne at the beginning of the week there were a few bean seed flies. We have not captured any carrot flies or cabbage root flies yet.
