Bean seed fly meeting 2023
Bean seed fly meeting
Thursday, 5th January 2023, 10 am - 12.30 pm - in Microsoft Teams.
The management of bean seed fly has been causing considerable concern for growers over the last few years. The main reason for the concern is the loss, or imminent loss, of insecticidal seed treatments, since to date this method of applying insecticides has been the most effective. Several organisations are working on the problem and there will be summaries of the work that has been undertaken in the past year. The approaches investigated represent several components of a developing IPM strategy.
