Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, Ås Norway
OILSEED RAPE PRODUCTION
– Mainly in South‐East Norway
– 4160 ha
– 87 % spring rape – 2/3 spring oilseed rape– 1/3 spring turnip rape
– 13 % winter oilseed rape

PESTS
3
Regular• Pollen beetles (Brassicogethes/Meligethes
spp.)
• Flea beetles (Phyllotreta spp)
Occasional• Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) • Brassica pod midge (Dasineura brassicae)• Turnip seed weevil (Ceutorrhynchus
obstrictus =C. assimilis)• Cabbage stem weevil (Ceutorrhynchus
quadridens = C. pallidactylus)• Turnip sawfly (Athalia rosae)
PEST CONTROL
• Mainly insecticides• Area treated
− Spring oilseed rape 70 % − Winter oilseed rape 10 %
• Treatment threshold (pollen beetles) or at appearance

SUMMARY• Pyrethroid resistance in pollen beetles stabilized or partly reversed? Reduced
susceptibility towards thiacloprid of concern. Indoxacarb is effective, alsoagainst pollen beetles with reduced sensitivity to pyrethroids and thiacloprid
• Resistance in flea beetles not investigated
• Development of alternative control methods and anti-resistance strategiesimportant to avoid more serious resistance problems
• Trap crops with summer turnip rape promising control method for flea and pollen beetles in spring oilseed rape
• Treatment threshold exceeded less often• Pests on trap crop must be effectively controlled at the right time to avoid
immigration and damage in the main crop
• Occurrence of species complex of flea beetles and pollen beetles in spring oilseed crops: Effect of insecticides, resistance dynamics and IPM-strategies?
Thank you for your attention!
