Brassicogethes aeneus (Fabricius)) is a major pest in the production of oilseed rape, Brassica napus L., in Europe. At high levels of crop infestation, adult beetles can cause severe economic damage by destroying the buds. Chemical control of this pest is biased due to the widely distributed pyrethroid resistance and a decreasing availability of insecticides with different modes of action. Effective
