Blackcurrant
« on: August 21, 2011, 14:43 »
Hi I have a blackcurrant plant, which is grown in a pot, and I have notice some of the leaves have started going yellow, and there has been a few larvae around the soil at the base eating at the woody part of the plant ... what are these larvae and how can I treat it

Welcome to the site  :D

The yellowing leaves might just be a nutrient deficiency or age, but as for the larvae we could do with a description if possible please - colour, size, whether visible during the day or night.

If you could add your general location to your forum profile (click your username and edit forum profile) it may help in case the larvae are location specific.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

the larvae are below soil level, creamy coloured and about 4 to 5 mm in length

Could be vine weevil larvae which like living in pots and look like this:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
