Economic Injury Levels for Flea Beetles (Phyllotreta spp.; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Spring Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus; Brassicales: Brassicaceae). [PDF]
J Econ Entomol, 2020 Abstract Flea beetles (Phyllotreta spp.) are major insect pests in spring oilseed rape (SOSR; Brassica napus L.). Prohibited use of three neonicotinoid insecticides in the European Union means that there are currently no insecticide seed treatment options available. Insecticide spraying remains as a control option, but there is a need to

Effects of diversified volatile profiles on olfactory orientation of flea beetles Phyllotreta spp. and the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Abstract This study investigated the effect of mixing volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted by host and non‐host plants on the orientation of key pests of Brassicaceae. The study aimed to understand how these mixed VOCs influence pest behaviour, which could help in tailoring pest management strategies.

Glucosinolates as arsenal for defending Brassicas against cabbage flea beetle (Phyllotreta spp.) attack [PDF]
Zemdirbyste, 2013 Feeding of cabbage flea beetles on various Brassica species can reduce crop productivity. While progressing towards the goal of reducing the use of synthetic pesticides and promotion of environmental protection, we wish to exploit plants’ natural resilience.

Integrated pest management of flea beetles (Phyllotreta spp.) in spring oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) [PDF]
Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 2019 One of the most dangerous pests of rape is a complex of the undulating flea beetles that can do harm to the plants from the phase of sprouting and until the harvest ripening. According to our research, all six species of the undulating flea beetles are spread in the Eastern Forest–Steppe of Ukraine.

Salix transect of Europe: additional leaf beetle (Chrysomelidae) records and insights from chrysomelid DNA barcoding [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2019 Occurrence patterns of chrysomelid beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), associated with willow (Salix spp.) at 42 sites across Europe, have previously been described. The sites form a transect from Greece (lat. 38.8 °N) to arctic Norway (lat.

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 ...
