Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices

The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.

The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is an important pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in Europe. The objective of the present study was to gain a better understanding of host plant related factors affecting its oviposition behaviour with the aim of developing new sustainable control strategies.
