- Abstract
This article reports on seed dressing trials in Eastern Counties of England to study the control of wheat bulb fly in winter wheat. Four randomized block trials were drilled on land with egg counts varying from four to one-half million per acre. In the Lincolnshire trial the symptoms of infestation were only visible for about a week. Similarly, a low attack developed at the second Cambridge site and yields were not taken. The Essex trial was in a field heavily attacked by wheat bulb fly and the whole area was given a heavy top dressing to boost the crop as a whole. This caused an evening-out of treatment responses, and there was severe lodging on the granule-treated plots with consequent loss in yield.
