Living on the Edge: Using and Improving Trap Crops for Flea Beetle Management in Small-Scale Cropping Systems [PDF]
Insects, 2019 The use of trap crops to manage pest insects offers an attractive alternative to synthetic pesticides. Trap crops may work particularly well at smaller production scales, being highly amenable where crop diversification and reduction of synthetic inputs ...

Flea Beetle Control in Canola, 1985 [PDF]
Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1987 Abstract Plots were located near Humboldt, MN in Kittson County. Plots were 25 ft × 50 ft, replicated 3 times and arranged in a randomized complete block design. Granular insecticide was applied to each plot shortly after planting and incorporated lightly. Soils were clayey. Foliar applications were made when plants were in the cotyledon

Identification and evolution of glucosinolate sulfatases in a specialist flea beetle [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractGlucosinolates, a characteristic group of specialized metabolites found in Brassicales plants, are converted to toxic isothiocyanates upon herbivory. Several insect herbivores, including the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala), prevent glucosinolate activation by forming desulfo-glucosinolates. Here we investigated the molecular

Effects of diversified volatile profiles on olfactory orientation of flea beetles Phyllotreta spp. and the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella [PDF]
Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 883-890, August 2025.Diversifying the crop volatile organic compound profile can alter pest orientation: flea beetles were less attracted to chemical cues of the cabbage–faba bean mix than to those from cabbage alone, while diamondback moths remained equally attracted to both cues.

One Pathway Is Not Enough: The Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle Psylliodes chrysocephala Uses Multiple Strategies to Overcome the Glucosinolate-Myrosinase Defense in Its Host Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a key pest of oilseed rape in Europe, and is specialized to feed on Brassicaceae plants armed with the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system.

The jumping mechanism of flea beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Alticini), its application to bionics and preliminary design for a robotic jumping leg [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 Flea beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Alticini) are a hyperdiverse group of organisms with approximately 9900 species worldwide. In addition to walking as most insects do, nearly all the species of flea beetles have an ability to jump and
