How can I avoid my carrots getting attacked by root fly?

Our Advice:

Protect the crop with insect screening up to 75 cm (2.5 ft) high. Fly-resistant varieties include Flyaway, Ibiza, Maestro, Parano or Resistafly. Treat usual crops from April to July with 'Grow Your Own' biological control from Nemasys.
