The Brassica pod midge (Dasineura brassicae Winn.) is an important pest in oilseed rape (Brasica napus L.). It develops two generations per year and overwinters in the larval stage in cocoons in soil. Immigration of the first generation adults lasted from the beginning of April until the end of May. Larvae developed in pods from mid-April to mid-June, causing pod deformation and cracking, which resulted in premature falling out of seeds and yield reduction. Pod damage amounted to 11.6%. The emergence of the second generation adults was detected at the end of May and in the first ten days of June. D. brassicae was found to lay eggs in healthy pods and no correlation was found with the cabbage seed weevil, Ceutorhynchus assimilis Paykull.

From 2013 to 2015 the within-field spatio-temporal distributions and interactions between Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus and Brassicogethes aeneus in winter oilseed rape crops were assessed using SADIE analysis (Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs) and Quick association analysis. A significant tendency for aggregation was recorded in C. pallidactylus males in the crop in both 2013 and 2015. Females showed a high tendency towards aggregation only in 2013. Both sexes were significantly associated in crops in 2013 and 2015. B. aeneus adults showed a high tendency towards aggregation in all three years. From the three seasons the cumulative distributions (based on the sums of insect catches in traps for the individual dates) of males and females of C. pallidactylus were significantly associated with the cumulative distribution of B. aeneus adults only in 2013. Contrary to this, an almost significant dissociation between cumulative distributions of C. pallidactylus males and B. aeneus adults was recorded in 2014.

The pests and their hymenopterous parasitoids present in a spring and a winter oilseed rape crop in Estoniawere studied. Meligethes aeneus was themost abundant pest in both crops. Other crucifer-specialist pests included: Ceutorhynchus assimilis, C. pallidactylus, C. rapae, C. floralis, C. pleurostigma and Phyllotreta spp., but their abundance was low. Four species of parasitoids of M. aeneus larvae (Diospilus capito, Phradis morionellus, P. interstitialis and Tersilochus heterocerus) and threeof C. assimilis larvae (Mesopolobus morys, Stenomalina gracilis and Trichomalus perfectus) were also found.
