[QUOTE="Chalky, post: 7586426, member: 1818"] I do not think there is that much that the boffins have not been telling us for the last 40 years really. Cereals drilled in autumn will be at risk of virus vectors migrating into newly sown crops from summer host plants in the autumn until flights cease, dependent upon location around early November. Emerged crops are at risk in the period so treat with a suitable pyrethroid. Repeat if the prevailing conditions continue to pose a risk. Worst areas are coastal and southern counties. You have all read it all before-unfortunate to get caught out do not think I am being unkind-but as agriculture may change, I do not think the natural world is forced to follow. Social media warriors are often very unhelpful preaching about subjects like this-beneficials etc. Come October and weather turns I find most lacewings and ladybirds in the crevices of doors and windows, not foraging around my cereal crops. We had a field near a grass paddock caught about 10 years ago, should have treated again(in hindsight) as was a nild run into December. I did not consider it. Glad I gave it the first one though, as 8t/ha would have been worse! We are 3 miles south of the Humber. The same year a swathe north of Lincoln either side of the A15 was hit badly. I am over 50-my thoughts may differ from younger members-I do not know [/QUOTE]
