Cabbage Flea Beetle Damage
Cabbage Flea Beetle has damaged the purple sprouting broccoli which has been growing in the garden over the winter.
The larvae of the Cabbage Flea Beetle have burrowed into the leaf stalks and the main stem of the broccoli. The plants have become weak and the leaves are loosing their colour.
The larvae left the plants when they pupated and have dropped into the soil. They will stay there until they hatch out into flea beetles and start to feed on this summer’s crops!
