spring wheat insect pests

[Neddy flanders]

which insects attack spring wheat at early 2 leaf stage, sorry cant remember. Frit? Gout? BYDV vectors?

anyone routinely applying pyrethoids?

 

[Brisel]

Gout fly has been an issue in past years. Timing is hard to get right & pyrethroids aren't great against it unless you hit them directly. Frit fly is only where you've sown into grass without at least 3 weeks of no green material as a green bridge.

Frit Fly also active after Oats.

Can you dissect a plant down to the stem base and roots please? Could be frit fly or opomyza

Any chance of a photo please? A clear close up of the maggot would be helpful, or a description of numbers of legs and placement. Not easy to distinguish between species since it's likely to be a fly larva and it will be small.
