Carrot root fly is a troublesome pest but both Flyaway & Resistafly have partial carrot fly resistance, both contain low levels of chlorogenic acid, a chemical which the carrot fly larvae of needs to survive. This means that they appear to be unattractive to the fly & even if your crop is attacked the larvae will soon die after doing relatively little damage.
