Pest numbers have increased a bit since Friday.

Between Friday and Tuesday we caught:

In the 3 water traps:

• 1 male and 10 female cabbage root flies
• 24 bean seed flies

We collected a total of 5 cabbage root fly eggs from around 15 cauliflower plants (planted 15 April).

We also put out pheromone traps for diamond-back moth, turnip moth, silver Y moth last week and nothing has been captured so far.

We have pheromone traps out for European tarnished plant bug and common green capsid - and caught a total of 12 European tarnished plant bugs (3 traps).
