The above chart shows how we’ve had some pretty good growth since the hatch until the Christmas period when the… Read More LeatherJackets damage

Does it ever end?

Crane Fly Hatch

I was sent the image below this week from South Wales and PestTracker continues to do its job – PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE if you’re seeing Cranefly hatch still – please continue to log them. We don’t fully understand the life cycle yet – the more pieces of the jigsaw we have the sooner we get… Read More Does it ever end?

Surely it’s over?

Acelepryn Emergency Authorisation was worth it.

Cranefly. We’ve only had a few reported sightings this last couple of weeks which reflects exactly the same pattern as 2019. The additional work in gaining an extended period of Emergency Authorisation for Acelepryn now feels worth it. The last day to purchase product is gone and you are right at the end of the… Read More Surely it’s over?

PestTracker Update – Sept Week 3

This time last year we were about to see the peak of Cranefly hatching. It’ll be interesting to see if that repeats itself again this year or if we are already there. Keep logging at PestTracker so we can get a clear picture. Either way this is the period to apply Acelepryn. Assuming you’ve seen… Read More PestTracker Update – Sept Week 3

Cranefly distribution

Crane Fly Hatch 2020

There seems to be no obvious pattern in the location of the hatches this year. I was desperately hoping there would be. There are no obvious links to climatic differences. Again I was hoping there would be something! I’ve spoken to a few people who are reporting seeing nothing on the golf course but seeing… Read More Cranefly distribution

Cranefly hatch – nearly there?

Syngenta Tipula oleracae Syngenta Tipula oleracae cranefly

In 2019 the second week of September was the week we began to see an increase in Cranefly Hatching. This is important to know because when applying Acelepryn we want to ensure the majority of Cranefly eggs are in the ground. The Emergency Authorisation has been extended to the end of October this year giving… Read More Cranefly hatch – nearly there?
