The carrot rust fly is an insect pest that feeds on carrots, parsnips and celery.
This guide contains integrated pest management (IPM) information tailored for small-scale production, but the guidelines can be applied to all operation sizes. It includes:
- Identification and lifecycle details, including photographs of pest phases
- Information about how and when to monitor
- Options for biological, cultural, physical and chemical control
This resource was developed as part of a 12-guide series for small-scale vegetable and berry farmers in the Fraser Valley and Lillooet-Pemberton areas. Growers in other regions of BC may also find the information applicable to their local conditions. A webinar shares more information about the project.
