AbstractPhyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) was usually the most abundant flea beetle on crops of Argentine rape, Brassica napus L., in Manitoba, followed in order by Phyllotreta striolata (F.) and Psylliodes punctulata Melsh. These three species and small numbers of Phyllotreta bipustulata (F.) were present on volunteer rape in the spring. A few specimens of a fifth rape-eating species, Phyllotreta robusta Lee, were trapped in April after hibernating. The three main species were recorded in all 16 localities in which samples of flea beetles on rape crops and/or volunteer rape were collected. Details of seasonal life history of each species are presented, as well as data on the abundance of the three main species throughout the year on rape crops, in overwintering habitats and on volunteer rape in spring. The relative abundance of P. cruciferae, P. striolata, and Ps. punctulata in different rape-growing areas of Manitoba is discussed.

Summary The biological and biocontrol traits of two entomopathogenic nematode isolates, Steinernema pakistanense 94-1 (Sp94-1) and Heterorhabditis indica 212-2 (Hi212-2), were evaluated. The highest yield of infective juveniles (IJ) in monoxenic sponge culture system for Sp94-1 and Hi212-2 was 3.52 (± 0.45) × 105 and 7.08 (± 0.11) × 105 IJ g−1, respectively. The optimum storage temperature was 25°C for Sp94-1 and 14°C for Hi212-2. Sp94-1 showed greater tolerance to heat exposure and UV radiation, while S. carpocapsae All, a commercial strain, was more resistant to osmotic pressure, desiccation, cold treatment and hypoxia than the other tested isolates. Hi212-2 suppressed the Phyllotreta striolata larvae when applied at 1.5 × 109 IJ ha−1 or higher concentrations, while Sp94-1 suppressed the P. striolata larvae only when applied at 4.5 × 109 IJ ha−1. Our study indicates the possibility of commercialisation of the EPN isolates, and further confirms their efficacy against the P. striolata larvae in the field.

AbstractA small colony of the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolala (F.), has been maintained in a cage in the greenhouse for more than 21/2 years. Horseradish [Armoracia rusticana (Lam) Gaertn., Mey. & Scherb.] was found to be a suitable host plant, and the caged beetle colony has followed a similar life cycle to natural populations in the field.

AbstractThe three most important flea beetle pests of western Canadian rape crops appear to be selective in choosing their overwintering sites, as the greatest densities of overwintering adults of Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) and Psylliodes punctulata Melsh. were found in leaf litter and turf beneath hedges and(or) shelterbelts, while that of Phyllotreta striolata (F.) was found in these materials beneath groves of native trees. Most beetles overwintered near the surface in leaf litter and turf rather than in the underlying soil. Within a habitat, sample to sample variation for each species was usually large and the overwintering populations appear to have an aggregated distribution pattern. Winter samples over a 6-year period from all five habitat types combined or from parkland groves reflected the continuously low level of the field population of Psylliodes punctulata, and a marked increase in the field population of P. striolata that occurred in one year. Winter samples taken from hedges and(or) shelterbelts provided little information on population sizes or trends except for indicating the general low level of the Psylliodes punctulata population. Winter mortality was low for all three species. The foregoing information will be useful for developing future sampling plans so that overwintering flea beetle populations can be estimated more reliably.
