Chafer flight patterns are following last years pretty much exactly the same. I’ve been sent a lot of photos and videos the last week of Chafers that are flying. All the photos are of Summer Chafers but we are you are reporting sightings on PestTracker of all the Chafer species. The question I’m now being…

Chafer Here we are in 2020 and I’m running through the data from last years Syngenta PestTracker data and comparing it to this years. To date, sightings are pretty much the same as last year. Below are the results form last year, 2019 And here are the results so far for 2020, Cockchafer, Garden Chafer…

Well it’s started – I wrote a couple of weeks back about (click here to see …) the two distinct hatches we saw in Craneflies last year. This Spring has been painful for Course Managers and I suspect we are now seeing the true scale of the challenge we face managing this pest. We have…

Last year we launched the Syngenta PestTracker – a tool to help us gauge the when we see insects hatching in the UK. We were overwhelmed with the response from the industry with over 500 responses from you throughout the year. This information has been incredibly useful and formed part of the Emergency Authorisation application…

Last year’s Syngenta PestTracker exercise showed far more engagement from CraneFly spotters than by Chafer watchers. Why is this?

Last year the Syngenta #PestTracker was really well adopted by the industry and gave us a fascinating insight into the flight patterns of both Chafer and Cranefly. There are many early insights from this exercise and I plead with you to continue to engage this season. The Video shows the times reported by industry over…

Whilst it has some limitations: Only enthused turf managers entering data Data concentrated to areas with higher levels of turf managers / Managed turf facilities Accuracy of how many times the data is entered…

Great Question from Jonathan on twitter today. The timing of Acelepryn is key to getting success out of the product but with the Emergency Authorisation deadline looming!.

September 2019. We are now entering the beginning of the big Cranefly hatch season. The last two weeks have seen the Cranefly sightings beginning to increase. During the summer months we saw a slow trickle of sightings on the Syngenta Pest Tracker but I feel we are now entering the beginning of the big hatch…
