[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 6327466, member: 305"] A couple weeks of hard frost in winter would reduce many insects The last 15 year only had s couple that could be classed as cold enough In the 1970s 1980s most winter we’re colder Flea bottle now worse than ever before Beneficial as will help when numbers of pests are low When numbers get epidemic then spraying would help Except when many insects have built up insecticide resistance due to repeated insurance spraying because the stuf is under £1 an acre That is why seed dressing targeted against the pest that eats the crop and not the whole field was so effective 4 out of 5 Tested fleabeetle samples were susceptible to inscecticide The trouble is there are so many that after one spray they just reinvade What is needed is an effective bg killer in cereals and then we could go back to 3 cereals and a beak crop rotation half the area of rape or go Back to a rotation with half grass [/QUOTE]
