Most pull through, not with great result as far as peas are concerned. An easy answer is don't do early outdoor sowings, you should be OK nowish...

Why are u saying it mainy affects early crops gobs?

Because it does?

Gobs is right, but with later sowings comes other problems (powdery mildew). I guess the key is to be forewarned and forearmed for anything that may come up, and then we can sow along the season to our hearts content

Can someone suggest a particular chemical for this problem as I have googled with no result. appart from Derris which is hard to get hold of these days as it has been withdrawn.

My Broad Beans are getting a hammering and I have a new row just showing through I dont want then to go the same way

Look for bifenthrin, but Ive never tried it so dont know how efficient it is. Spray now before the flowers open

Ive merged these threads as they are both after the same advice!

Well i bought some bifenthrin

and sprayed it on my peas. Had to if i wanted any crop.
Will keep everone posted if and when things improve.

But you'll still have peas, you have your priorities after all
