  2. By hand mainly early summerRemove affected leaves or squash the larvae in the tunnels with your fingers; look for white eggs on the undersides of leaves.

What you will see

Discoloured areas on the top of leaves, with a white, gray or purple coating beneath.

When to look

Mainly summer and fall, especially in damp conditions

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Do not plant densely; weed so air can circulate.
    • Water in the morning and avoid wetting the leaves in the evening.
    • Rotate crops; soil spores survive.
  2. By hand as soon as it appearsPull off affected leaves and dispose of them (burying, burning, recycling center).

More about this problem

What you will see

Roots split lengthwise, usually from the top, sometimes down to the core. Soft rot can enter through the cracks; damage is often only visible at harvest.

When to look

Summer and fall

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Water evenly, not alternating between dry and wet. After drought and heavy rain, roots take up water quickly and split.
    • In dry weather, water deeply about once every two weeks, and once a week as the roots approach harvest; especially on sandy and chalky soil.
    • Improve the soil with well-rotted organic matter; do not put fresh manure under carrots.
    • Excess nitrogen and temperature swings can contribute; frost can burst some roots.
    • If the problem recurs, choose varieties resistant to splitting; lift less frost-hardy roots before the first fall frosts.
  2. By hand as soon as it is foundRemove split roots straight away. Use the healthy part quickly before it starts to rot, and clean mud out of the cracks thoroughly. There is no chemical treatment.

More about this problem

What you will see

It transmits the bacteria SBR and stolbur: leaves change color and wilt, taste and quality change, storage roots become soft and rubbery. Some affected plants show no symptoms. Nymphs develop in the soil.

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Keep to crop rotation.
    • Use crop nets.
    • Bare fallow can reduce pest pressure.
  2. Chemical — only when nothing else helps according to the regional plant protection warning serviceIn Bavaria only emergency authorizations for spraying against the planthopper were granted for the 2026 season; protection strategies and the course of the infection are still unclear. Use only a product authorized in your country against planthoppers on the crop in question.
