Anyone seeing many or sprayed for them this year? Seeing quite a few the last few evenings. Agronomist says it’s past the stage of worrying about them! Is that the case mid flowering.
Hallmark, if a couple of droplets hit the midge directly, may cause a mild concussionwhich insecticides have any effect??
It’s a worry here but the only group 1 with resistance is Skyfall and I don’t like that.Surely if it was a worry just get a resistant variety
Don’t look. They are often yellow ones also which the insecticide is even less effective against
What's wrong with Skyfall? Its only weakness is YR which a bit of cheap teb will sort.It’s a worry here but the only group 1 with resistance is Skyfall and I don’t like that.
