Notes:
Between mid-July and the end of August in 1977 and 1978, wheat bulb flies were caught in white water-traps at 16 oviposition sites in eastern Scotland. The numbers of females caught per site and the subsequent egg populations, estimated from soil-cores from each site, were linearly related. Water-trapping may therefore provide a reliable and early forecast of egg numbers, independent of soil-sampling, and so enable seed treatment to be limited to years when the risk of damage is great.
