How can I avoid carrot root fly?

Our Advice:

Early sowings in late-March and late sowings in June will avoid the first generation of this pest. Surrounding the crop with insect screening up to 75 cm (2.5 ft) high will help or you can treat the rows with a biological control such as Nemasys Fruit & Vegetable Protection.
