Pest update from Wellesbourne
Between Tuesday (29th) and Friday (1st) we found:
- 16 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 72 cabbage root fly eggs from around 15 cauliflower plants.
- There was 1 turnip moth, no diamond-back moths or silver Y moths (2 traps per species).
The 3 yellow water traps caught:
- 5 male and 8 female cabbage root flies
- 18 bean seed flies
- 4 pollen beetles
- 71 flea beetles
