Something eating my turnip!

17 years ago

I have been keeping an eye on my turnip lately because it was looking like it was close to picking time. Everything has looked ok up until this evening. Out of all the turnip, the leaves on one of them just went limp. All the leaves were laying on the ground. I thought I better pick that one and see what was happening. After popping it out of the ground, I noticed all these little white maggot looking things tunneled into the bottom half of the turnip. The maggot things can't be any more than 3/8" at most. I think these are the same things that kept eating my Big Max pumpkins every time they started to sprout. They ate their way into the seed before it could even sprout on some of them.

Does anyone know what this bug is and how to get rid of it?

Thanks,

Paul
