How to Fight Carrot Fly: A Simple but Effective Method
Many gardeners are confident that if you choose carrot varieties for planting that are resistant to the carrot fly, you don’t have to worry about the future harvest.
Among them are “Monanta”, “Perfection”, “Forto”, “Coral”, “Nanteskaia Semko F1” and others.
However, as noted by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , absolutely pest-resistant vegetable varieties are a myth.
In this regard, it will be necessary to fight the parasite using other methods.
Namely, to use a fence made of covering material as protection against carrot flies.
How does it work? Knowing one feature of the insect will help answer this question.
The carrot fly is not capable of flying very high. Its limit is about 80 cm.
Therefore, if you choose a place for your carrot beds away from the area where orange root vegetables grew last year, and also build a one-meter-high fence for them, the chances of damage by pests will be minimized.
