How can I stop Leek moth ruining my crop next year?


Our Advice:

Leek moth has two generations during the summer the first in May-June and the second in August-October. The second generation is usually the most damaging. Measures such as covering the crop with protective Enviromesh, sprays of Sprayday Bayer Greenfly Killer'>Greenfly Killer from Bayer or Bug and Larvae Killer from Neudorff are effective controls.
