Leaves that are wilted and stunted growth are a good indication of the maggots. You can use something like Diazinon before planting next year to help prevent this if you can still buy it.<BR/><BR/>Check stem for Cutworm damage, noticeable by the stem being chewed.<BR/><BR/>Had any aphids? man these lil things are a nightmare and spread virus very quickly.<BR/><BR/>Flea beetle is a pain as well and noticeable by really small holes and chewed leaves. Any thing that jumps when you run your hand over you sprouts is a sign you have flea beetle.<BR/><BR/>Lastly to prevent most of the major problems ensure you plant them really deep and firm. Use collars at the base of your plants and you can even earth up sprouts for best results.Veg4Showhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516761203147491989noreply@blogger.com
