Update on pests at Wellesbourne

Today we found:

Carrot fly - 6 flies on 3 traps in the overwintered carrot plot and 41 flies on 3 traps in the new carrot plot - so a considerable increase on Tuesday's captures.

Cabbage root fly - 47 eggs on 15 plants - again an increase on Tuesday's count.

We also caught 1 silver Y moth (2 traps).
