My sweet corn has suffered a terrible infestation of greenfly, what control would you advise against any
future attacks?
The species of greenfly attacking your sweet corn would probably have been the potato aphid, macrosiphum
euphorbiae.
This species attacks roses and related plants, then migrates to attack a wide range of other crops
including sweet corn, beans, rape, lettuce and potatoes.
The species can be quite widespread, but is only really numerous and damaging in certain years,
probably related to weather conditions in spring.
Control them by spraying with a suitable insecticide,
Can you tell me how grow baby sweet corn ?
To grow baby or mini sweet corn, choose an early variety, or a variety recommended for this.
