Hi folks, I have only posted a few times before, so this post is bad news for us. It is confirmed that our onions on the lottie have been hit badly by the allium leaf miner.
Don't know whether to destroy the whole crop or wait and see, what do you advise.

I had to look this one up, I'd never hear of it. Found this:

As it leaves the plants open to bacterial infection, eg white rot, I'd lift and destroy the lot asap.

That's a scary site, that RHS one! Useful, though, for IDs.

Hope that helps.
