Mary Sue:
I scanned through the article, which is very helpful. I seem to have
heard somewhere or read somewhere that vegetable oils can be used as a
spot spray on the foliage base to help with control...
As a matter of fact, I just found an article that refers to canola oil
and pyrethrins as a drench, "http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/2436/",
but I know this is not the source I have in vague memory.
Anybody had any experience fighting the Narcissus fly organically?
