The Brassica pod midge Dasineura brassicae and its facilitator, the cabbage seed pod weevil Ceutorrhynchus obstrictus, have caused serious damage in oilseed rape crops during the last few years. No locally adapted IPM strategies exist, including pesticide management thresholds with evidentiary support. Management methods for the pod midge are in conflict with management recommendations for pollinators and natural enemies of oilseed rape pests. We develop an integrated crop protection strategy to handle these urgent problems: 1) monitor the relationships between abundances of pod midge and pod weevil, their phenology and damages, to identify critical levels and time window for damages. 2) Characterize the effects of specific treatment strategies at different developmental stages of oilseed rape, in combination with pest pressure, to develop evidence-based local decision thresholds, including suitable times for spraying.
Skidgallmyggan Dasineura brassicae, i kombination med blygrå rapsvivel Ceutorrhynchus obstrictus, har under de senaste åren orsakat allvarliga skador i raps. Lokalt anpassade IPM-strategier är ännu inte utprovade, inklusive evidensbaserade trösklar för insekticidanvändning. Växtskyddsåtgärder mot skidgallmyggan står i konflikt med vedertagna skötselrekommendationer för pollinatörer samt naturliga fiender till viktiga rapsskadegörare. Vi kommer att utarbeta en integrerad bekämpningsstrategi för att hantera dessa akuta problem: 1) Övervaka förhållandena mellan täthet av skidgallmygga och blygrå rapsvivel, deras fenologi och skadebilden, för att identifiera kritiska nivåer och tidsfönster då skaderisken är stor. 2) Studera effekterna av specifika bekämpningsåtgärder vid olika tidpunkter under rapsens utvecklingsstadier, i kombination med skadedjurstrycket, för att utveckla evidensbaserade lokala bekämpningströsklar och beslutsstödsmodeller, inklusive lämplig tidpunkt för bekämpning.

The project aims to study the long-term effect of structure liming, and to test if minimum tillage can prolong the duration of this effect. The hypothesis is that structure liming effects diminish over time, but by minimizing soil tillage we can prolong this effect. Studies will be performed in six …
