terryd 8,024 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I bought some of this for the cabbage white and it certainly works but I have to net for the pigeons so don't use it much https://www.agrigem.co.uk/dipel-df-500g?gclid=CNmk2qKh3uICFYjhUQod7pMNhQ 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,510 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I to have to net to keep cats off pigeons off the PSB and bloody sparrows off beetroot and spinach. The stuff looks good Terry but bit pricey I think it has Bacillus thuringiensis in it which I believe is organic and safe but affective. Might be useful to me as I'm looking for something against cabbage root fly which I seem to suffer with even if I use cabbage collars they still seem to get a few plants. I've a tray of that PSB plants almost ready to go in at the moment and I've spray them with a systemic caterpillar killer I had in the shed in a hope to protect them. Terry that Dipel-df do you know if thats systemic? Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,035 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well. Been on to the suppliers and they would like some pics of the pest, so, will strip some plants and send them over. It sounds like there is not an easy answer to the leaf miner. Will keep you all posted. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Here's the little blighters. Three separate onion plants but from the same bed. There is no point in leaving the plants in as the damage is absolute. All my shallots appear to be going the same way. As said, I'm in contact with an agrochemicals company who hopefully will give some advice (for the future). Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
