Pest update from Wellesbourne
Between Tuesday and today we caught:
On 3 sticky traps in each of our carrot plots:
- 39 carrot flies - overwintered carrots
- 154 carrot flies - spring-sown carrots
In 4 water traps - 3 near our overwintered swede plot and 1 near some oil seed rape:
- 4 male cabbage root flies and 3 females
- 5 bean seed flies
- 149 pollen beetles
- 35 flea beetles
- 7 cabbage stem weevils
- 1 cabbage seed weevil
We also recovered 20 cabbage root fly eggs from the soil around 15 cauliflower plants.
We caught one diamond-back moth (2 pheromone traps).
We have also caged some areas planted with narcissus in order to record emergence of large narcissus fly - none so far.
