Carrot Rust Fly: Life Cycle and Management

First-generation carrot rust fly adults emerge in spring and lay eggs near host plants, with larvae feeding on roots and potentially causing a second generation by mid-July.

Detail description

Carrot rust fly damages carrots and related crops. Adults emerge in spring, laying eggs near plant bases; larvae feed on roots. A second generation may occur. Treatments should be applied after adult emergence. The DSS predicts first flight using 260 day-degrees above 5°C from 1 March. Yellow sticky traps aid monitoring. Applicable in several European countries, including the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Denmark.
