Dorene: June issue of Vegetable Growers News has an article and suggests ways to manage: yellow sticky cards or yellow plastic bowls with soapy water; covering plants in Feb, prior to emergence of the adult ,and keep covered until after spring emergence; grow leeks as far possible from chives, their preferred target; systemic and contact insecticides can be effective; contact your local extension office. Elaine Denver From: Market-farming [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of GarlicGrower Hi, Folks! Penn State reported that the Allium Leaf Miner, a new pest to the area, was found in the next county over. I’m now hearing from other Allium growers that it’s moving East and they are finding it in their garlic and leeks. Anyone have any experience with this pest and preferably organic ways of dealing with it? I thought there would be more chatter before this, but the proverbial egg is hitting the fan now, right before garlic harvest. Thoughts/suggestions welcome.
