What is this pest and how to combat it?
I grew a row of turnips this year. They have a lovely healthy top to them,
and I have been delighted by the way they have developed from marble to golf ball to tennis ball and bigger. I thought I would sample one today, as they will benefit from thinning anyway. http://s1102.photobucket.com/albums/...t=PICT3032.jpg On washing and peeling it, I was dismayed to find that it was unusable, as it had been attacked by a series of small grubs that had bored into it and introduced a network of brown rotten trails through it. I have not checked the rest of the row, but if it is the turnip equivalent of carrot fly, I suspect that I may as well rip them all out and chuck them in the compost bin. Any thoughts please? Am I too late to do anything to rescue some crop? cheers Alan |
