The pollen beetle causes big yield losses in organic rape cultivation. As there is currently no permitted direct control measure, preventive measures have to be used.
Solution
First, the leaflet shows the biology of the pollen beetle. Afterwards, it informs about the control measures and the current state of the research.
Description
Organic rapeseed oils is in demand. But the organic rape cultivation is difficult. Especially the pollen beetle causes big yield losses. As there is currently no allowed direct control measure, preventive measures have to be used.
The leaflet provides some information about the biology of the pollen beetle and about methods of identifying it. It also provides some information about monitoring and possible preventive measures. Since pollen beetles affect closed buds, supporting fast growth and flowering is an important measure. Finally, the current research is discussed.
