I have a raised bed of Kelvendon Wonder doing wonderfully well about 3-4 weeks after sliding them in off the gutter
Today I found one of the plants had serrated-edged leaves and was told this was caused by the dreaded VINE WEEVIL.
I was shown a book which said I must spray with "Fenitrothion".

Does anyone know about this weevil and this stuff? I would like to know what it is chemically before I pay a lot for it - even if I could find it.

Perhaps  :idea: yes I will googal it

I googled it ... DARN that sounds nasty !!!   Hopefully you will decide the loss of one pea doesn't warrant the sledgehammer approach.

My broad beans have a few weevils.  They are pea and bean weevils rather than vine weevils and I suspect yours are too.  As my broadbeans were planted last autmn they are nearly ready to pick so I don't think I will do anything about it

 :? I could be well wrong though  :roll:

they have nibbled my peas too and i was a little concerned about it but it doesn't seem to be bothering the plants, they have started to flower and i spotted my first pea pod on sunday and when i loked at it today it has trebled in size!! i just hope the others start to come soon, one is not much good is it?!

Forgot to mention I have used defenders products before and they are very good, just like having your own personal SAS squad in a test tube.
