RD-2004-3023 Revised thresholds for cabbage stem flea beetle.
To protect insecticide efficacy and the industry's profile by reducing insecticide usage in oilseed rape to the minimum amount required to protect the crop.
RD-2005-3242 Re-evaluating thresholds for pollen beetle in oilseed rape
The aim of the work is to produce up-to-date thresholds for pollen beetle control in oilseed rape by relating the potential for pest damage to the inherent tolerance of the crop. The revised threshold will take account of crop type, crop vigour and pollen beetle distribution within the field.
