To understand them, the place to start is to know what they do. The fly lays their eggs at the base of the plant, they hatch and start eating the nearest food, which is, your crop. The fly is attacked to the seedlings by the odour of them There are two ways of preventing this, both of them, try to make the crop distasteful to the fly.
