AHDB Pest Bulletin
The AHDB Pest Bulletin, hosted by Syngenta, provided forecasts and up-to-date reports for most key field crop pests.
The forecasts were designed to provide growers with the opportunity for early intervention, to help inform pest control decisions to protect crops.
Data was collected from various locations around the UK, giving local and reliable information, as well as historical data to provide year-on-year comparisons of pest numbers.
The pests monitored by the Pest Bulletin included: lettuce aphids, large narcissus fly, brassica aphids, turnip moth, silver Y moth, diamondback moth, bean seed fly, cabbage root fly, brassica flea beetle, brassica pollen beetle, carrot fly, black bean aphid, willow-carrot aphid and lettuce caterpillar.
