  • Turnip Sawfly (Added on 02 Oct 2008)
    Turnip Sawfly caterpillars have been found in early sown crops in both the South and the East, although the risk is low elsewhere. Their presence is sporadic, but foliar damage can be significant if present. It is worth checking crops in the South and East.  
  • Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle (Added on 02 Oct 2008)
    AICC members have reported Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle damage specifically in the East Midlands on crops that have not received a seed treatment, and also some shotholing in other regions. Adult flea beetle damage can be a problem at the cotyledon stage of the crop - therefore vigilance is required in crops at this stage. HGCA Topic Sheet   Click for further images.
