Pest update from Wellesbourne
Between 22nd and 25th May our 3 yellow water traps captured:
- Cabbage root flies - 7 males and 3 females
- Bean seed flies - 16
- Pollen beetles - 11
- Flea beetles - 2
- Cabbage stem weevil - 1
We also checked the carrot fly traps and caught 4 flies on 3 traps in overwintered carrots and 128 flies on 3 traps in spring-sown carrots.
There were no diamond-back moths, silver Y moths or cabbage moths in our traps but one turnip moth - the first of the year (2 traps per pest).
There were 9 cabbage root fly eggs around our 15 brassica plants.
