Afternoon all,
Has anyone had issues with allium leaf miner this year?
I had around 200 onions affected this year which I’ve had to write off, most others over my allotment site have also had it. Onions at my parents allotment site 5 miles away have been affected too this year, when they never have been previously. Even the old boys with tonnes of experience have no idea what it is, one of them cut all his affected foliage off and is in complete denial that he’s got an issue.
It’s all a bit weird as it’s never been a problem before, I wasn’t even aware it was an issue until recently when I was trying to find out what was going on.
Anyone got any insight into why this has suddenly become an issue when it never has been previously? And potentially how to prevent it from causing issues next year?
Cheers,
Chris
