1. What is causing the inconsistent lettuce stand?
2. Would springtails feed on geminating seeds/plants?
3. How to monitor springtail in lettuce and what are the best traps?
4. How long we should deploy the traps in the field?

Summary
The white springtail (Protaphorura fimata) is a pest of lettuce
They feed on the germinating seeds of lettuce
Beet is the better bait than potato for monitoring this springtail
Do not leave the beet more than 3 days for monitoring

Research
• Stringent regulation with the use of organophosphate insecticides such as chlorpyrifos and diazinon
• OPs are usually applied “at planting along with seeds”
• With alternate insecticide being used - Timing the insecticide application is critical to protect initial phase of plant development
• In Salinas – broccoli is mostly seeded

Summary
For seeded-broccoli: First peak of cabbage maggot egg laying occurred three week after plant emergence
Cabbage maggot adults were present throughout the growing period
Insecticide application at three week after plant emergence looked better on cabbage maggot suppression
For transplanted-broccoli: cabbage maggot infestation was observed at second week after planting
