“…Of the 10 Meligethes species reported from brassicaceous plants in Europe, M. aeneus is by far the most common on cultivated brassicas (Blight and Smart, 1999). Pollen beetles are considered important pests on oilseed brassicas and cause serious yield losses to oilseed rape crops, with yield reductions of more than 80% reported (Lamb, 1989;Ekbom, 1995;Ekbom and Borg, 1996;Ruther and Thiemann, 1997;Ekbom and Ferdinand, 2003;Bartlet et al, 2004;Hansen, 2004;Williams, 2006;Kazachkova, 2007;Lehrman, 2007). Although pollen beetles are important pests, particularly for oilseed rape in Northern Europe (Jönsson and Anderson, 2007), and turnip rape, they do not oviposit on all Brassicacea plants (Bartlet et al, 2004).…”

-Brassica crops are grown worldwide for oil, food and feed purposes, and constitute a significant economic value due to their nutritional, medicinal, bioindustrial, biocontrol and crop rotation properties. Insect pests cause enormous yield and economic losses in Brassica crop production every year, and are a threat to global agriculture. In order to overcome these insect pests, Brassica species themselves use multiple defence mechanisms, which can be constitutive, inducible, induced, direct or indirect depending upon the insect or the degree of insect attack. Firstly, we give an overview of different Brassica species with the main focus on cultivated brassicas. Secondly, we describe insect pests that attack brassicas. Thirdly, we address multiple defence mechanisms, with the main focus on phytoalexins, sulphur, glucosinolates, the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and their breakdown products. In order to develop pest control strategies, it is important to study the chemical ecology, and insect behaviour. We review studies on oviposition regulation, multitrophic interactions involving feeding and host selection behaviour of parasitoids and predators of herbivores on brassicas. Regarding oviposition and trophic interactions, we outline insect oviposition behaviour, the importance of chemical stimulation, oviposition-deterring pheromones, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, nitriles, and phytoalexins and their importance towards pest management. Finally, we review brassicas as cover and trap crops, and as biocontrol, biofumigant and biocidal agents against insects and pathogens. Again, we emphasise glucosinolates, their breakdown products, and plant volatile compounds as key components in these processes, which have been considered beneficial in the past and hold great prospects for the future with respect to an integrated pest management.Brassicas / insect pests / chemical ecology / trophic levels / glucosinolates / isothiocyanates / defence mechanisms / biocontrol / trap crops / integrated pest management

“…Adult beetles emerge in early spring from overwintering habitats in woodlands and grassy areas (Rusch et al 2012;Blazejewska 1958;Müller 1941), and feed on the flowers of many different plants before seeking OSR crops and other brassicas at the green bud growth stage, for further feeding and oviposition (Free and Williams 1978;Ouvrard et al 2016). Feeding damage causes OSR flower bud abscission, leading to often extensive yield losses (Zlof 2008) that can approach 80% (Hansen 2004). After eggs are laid in the buds, the developing larvae feed for c. 2 weeks before dropping to the soil to pupate.…”

“…Research based on the optimization of chemical protection of rapeseed crops against M. aeneus has been conducted in recent years in most European countries, such as France, Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, the Check Republic, Austria and Switzerland (Alford et al, 2003;Hansen, 2004). Węgorek et al (2009) recommended at least 3-5 chemical treatments to control M. aeneus in Poland, the first one at the plant development stage BBCH 51-54 using insecticides with chlorpyrifos as an active ingredient; the next one at the stage BBCH 55-59 using pyrethoid or neonicotinoid insecticides (e.g.…”

SuMMARYSince pollen beetle, M. aeneus, is usually controlled by insecticides, the efficacy of several compounds with different modes of action against adult beetles was studied in a threeyear field study. The selected insecticides were: three pyrethroids (lambda-cyhalothrin, alpha-cypermethrin and bifenthrin), an oganophosphate (pirimiphos-methyl), a combination of an organophosphate and a pyrethroid (chlorpyrifos + cypermethrin) and a neonicotinoid (thiacloprid). The insecticides were applied at label rates to winter rapeseed crops at the moment of visible but still closed flower buds . In all experiments, the efficacy of pyrethroids and the organophosphate ranged from 90-100%, while the efficacy of the neonicotinoid was 85-95%. Therefore, they can be recommended for control of pollen beetle in Serbia.
