Oilseed rape is a major arable crop in both Europe and North
America. It is attacked by unique complexes of insect pests still
largely controlled through the application of chemical
insecticides. Crop management systems for the future must combine
sustainability with environmental acceptability to satisfy both
social and economic demands. This book, in its 17 chapters each led
by a world expert, reviews research progress towards developing
integrated pest management systems for the crop that enhance
conservation biocontrol. This approach is particularly timely
because of the development in Europe of insecticide resistance in
the pollen beetle, a major pest of the crop. The past decade has
seen considerable progress in our knowledge of the parasitoids and
predators that contribute to biocontrol, of their distribution
patterns, and their behavioural ecology, both within and without
the crop. There is potential for natural enemy conservation through
modification of within-field crop husbandry practices, as well as,
on the landscape scale, through habitat manipulation to encourage
vegetational diversity. This book will prove invaluable as a text
for researchers, university teachers, graduate scientists,
extension workers and growers involved in integrated pest
management.
