Pest Control
HGCA has issued an update of its pollen beetle information sheet and launched a new page on pest control. The information sheet aims to assist with the durable control of pollen beetle in oilseed rape. A new threshold scheme has been proposed based on knowledge of the maximum number of buds each pollen beetle can destroy and the minimum number of excess flowers produced. Crops with low plant populations have a higher pollen beetle threshold than more dense plantings. The pest control pages provide information on HGCA’s pest management publications and tools.
