Cabbage root flies are found on crucifers<\/a>. The eggs are laid at the base and sometimes in leaf axils of brassicas. The maggots, known as cabbage maggots<\/em>, bore their way through the stem just above ground level. Slowed growth, followed by wilting of the leaves turning bluish, means that cabbage fly maggots are active. The maggots attack the stem, disrupting the transport of water and nutrients. The affected parts rot and the plant dies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1702209014882{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
