The later you sow stubble turnips the leaf to bulb ratio increases perhaps go with a mix of stubble turnips or 100% Hybrid Forage Rape?

Yes, you can tell from the grey band running the full length of its body.

Hallmark contact insecticide.
Just check what’s on the approval label. There’s something in the back of my mind that Hallmark isn’t approved for them....could very well be wrong. Then again you might actually be targeting flea beetle

Try telling the caterpillars it's not approved, it's killed them the two times I have used it.

Turnip sawfly played havoc with some kale couple of years ago.

Damage not usually significant on field crops, but right little blighter on brassica crops for baby leaf production: http://ephytia.inra.fr/fr/C/16646/H...-Caracteristiques-du-ravageur-et-de-ses-degat
Pesticides approved for crop not pests so Hallmark fine.

Had it last year. They can turn the leaves to lace in a matter of days. Got just a patch this year but will probably end up spraying the whole lot.

Too wet and windy here to spray for a while anyway.

These things are weird, you can go year after year and never see any, and then you get a single crop that gets decimated for no reason you can fathom. They are voracious eaters, I've never seen a grown crop hit by flea beetle as bad. Fortunately they are rapidly nailed by insecticide but check your product approvals in case it isn't listed for use on the crop. Won't do any harm but your red tractor man won't like it at all.
