Hi all,
First post on the forum and some advice required from the seasoned swede growers please!
I planted 7 acres of Invitation swede on 7th June (first time growing it). It germinated well and has come up with about half or more showing two true leaves now. Noticed on Sunday evening some small holes in leaves and took it to be flea beetle. Rang our rep on Monday morning and he advised the spray Stealth from Syngenta. This was applied on Monday evening but this morning I found small yellow jumping insects, which I take to be young flea beetle, feeding on the leaves.
Has the wrong spray been used? And what affect will the flea beetle have on the crop if left untreated.
Thanks,
Mark
