Cabbage Root Fly in Broccoli

Filed under: pests&diseases — Tags: — TopVeg @ 1:03 pm

One broccoli plant in the vegetable garden has been looking very sick, due to cabbage root fly.

The plant was dug up to reveal a very small root system because the cabbage root fly larvae have eaten all the roots away.

All the other broccoli plants are looking very healthy, as are the sprouts. Just as well as the picture at the top shows that cabbage root fly in broccoli can kill the plant.
