Pest update from Wellesbourne
Between Tuesday (22nd) and Friday (25th) we found:
- 8 carrot flies on traps in this year's carrots (3 traps) (it really looks as if some of the population are aestivating due to the hot weather)
- Total of 87 cabbage root fly eggs from around 15 cauliflower plants.
- There was 1 silver Y moth, no diamond-back moths and no turnip moths (2 traps per species).
The 3 yellow water traps caught:
- 3 male and 30 female cabbage root flies
- 20 bean seed flies
- 6 pollen beetles
- 38 flea beetles
- 2 cabbage stem weevils
- 1 small white butterfly
