Abstract | The cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB, Psylliodes chrysocephala) is one of the major pests of oilseed rape (OSR) in Europe (Williams, 2010). Adults and larvae feed on the plant during autumn and winter threatening crop establishment and affecting plant vigour, respectively. The pest pressure on this crop has historically been controlled using insecticides. However, since the restriction in the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments in 2013 and the development of pyrethroid resistance by CSFB (Højland et al., 2015), there is currently no alternative control option available for growers. Farmers in the UK have faced complete crop losses in recent years (Wynn et al., 2017) which has mean that growing OSR in some areas has become untenable; resulting in a 21% decrease in the area of oilseed rape grown in UK since 2013 (DEFRA, 2013; 2017). Growing OSR in this current scenario requires the development of new management practices; however, little is known about CSFB interactions with current OSR varieties and their responses to changes in climate factors and agronomic practices. |
