There is a good understanding of their basic biology and ecology. A number of potential components of IPM strategies have been investigated for one or more species, but control in Europe still relies mainly on the use of insecticides. Components of IPM that have been investigated for one or more species include host plant resistance, cultural control methods, sterile 4 Funded by the European Union insect release, inundative and conservation biological control with arthropods, entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi, companion planting, intercropping, undersowing, trap crops, physical barriers and decision support (monitoring and forecasting). There is scope for refining and combining some of these approaches and for evaluating them collaboratively in different locations and cropping systems. The phenology of all species is relatively well understood. Monitoring systems have been developed for all species. Forecasting systems using weather data have been developed in the UK and Germany for P.rosae and D. radicum and have been used by the respective industries for more than 10 years. In the UK, information on pest activity is disseminated through a web site hosted by Syngenta UK and in Norway through the VIPS program developed by NIBIO and the Agricultural Extension Service. The University of Rennes (IGEPP) has been investigating the use of volatile organic compounds to manage D. radicum. They have shown that it is possible to modify oviposition behaviour under field conditions by using dispensers to release volatile chemicals that significantly decrease the numbers of eggs laid on plants. The aim is to develop a push-pull strategy combining the use of synthetic volatile compounds and attractive Brassica cultivars (used as trap crops) to control infestations. The potential for trap cropping has been demonstrated in experimental plots and this approach needs to be tested on a larger scale. This approach requires further development but there may be the potential to combine it with other components of an IPM strategy. Recent developments in molecular tools mean that the potential for identifying and studying the root- colonizing/endophytic capacity of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) strains isolated from host-plants and understanding plant-EPF-insect interactions is improved. Several studies have demonstrated promising results by infecting D. radicum larvae with EPF under controlled conditions, particularly with Metarhizium spp. However, it remains a challenge to target the soil-dwelling larvae in the field. Many EPFs also associate with plant roots, where Metarhizium can persist and proliferate in the rhizosphere, and some fungi become endophytic in the root system. Soil drenching of EPF inoculums showed promise in greenhouse and field experiments, but such methods will be challenging to implement in an IPM strategy. Roots grown from seeds inoculated with Metarhizium remained infective to root-feeding larvae in greenhouse conditions, indicating that the roots can deliver EPF inoculum in the soil. EPFs appear to be compatible with other natural enemies e.g. parasitoids, suggesting that EPF have limited non-target effects. Furthermore, EPF inoculation may bolster the crop by promoting plant growth. While entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are potentially useful field-applied biocontrol agents for soil dwelling pest insects, their control potential is limited, in the main by ambient temperatures. EPN species have narrow temperature ranges over which they can effectively control pests and these vary between EPN species and strains. Currently, EPN useful for control of D. radicum are applied to coincide with oviposition in the field, which invariably is at ambient temperatures unsuitable for optimal efficacy of these agents. Research has shown that the infectivity of key nematode groups, such as the Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae, can be enhanced; giving potential for enhanced performance, at both optimal and sub-optimal temperatures. Enhancement can occur following low- temperature storage of EPN in water with particular combinations of temperature and duration. Improving the field performance of these agents could contribute to making them a more robust alternative to current chemical control strategies. Approaches to IPM of root flies in Europe have been considered on several occasions (e.g. paper by Finch & Collier, 2000; EPPO workshop on C. rosae 2009; EIP-AGRI Focus Group ‘Integrated Pest Management – focus on Brassica species’ 2014-2016). Key requirements identified included: reliable, cost-effective and simple monitoring and decision support systems; alternative control strategies with fewer side effects on beneficials; knowledge about alternative ways of applying treatments; better ways of presenting information to growers. Unfortunately, with the exception of some changes in the insecticide treatments applied, and greater use of physical barriers, IPM strategies used commercially to control root flies have not been enhanced in the 16 years since the paper by Finch & Collier was published and, although decision support systems have been available for a number of years, there is 5 Funded by the European Union scope for improvement. It is also timely to consider the impact of climate change on pest life-cycles in future. Reference: Finch, S. & Collier, R.H. (2000).

  • Root Maggots (Onion - Delia Antiqua; Cabbage - Delia Radicum)
    Root Maggots (Onion - Delia antiqua; Cabbage - Delia radicum) Figure 2 Root maggot larvae, 1/4" long Figure 1 Adult, 1/4" long Figure 3 Damage to onion Damage The maggots feed on the roots and the bulbs (in the case of onions), creating numerous tunnels. Plants first begin to wilt and can eventually become stunted and yellowed. Heavily infested plants can ultimately die. When Are They Active Root maggots overwinter in the top few inches of garden soil. In late April - early May adult flies emerge to lay 50-200 white eggs on the soil near the base of crops. Eggs hatch in 3-7 days and larvae immediately begin feeding on the roots of the plants. Feeding continues for 3-4 weeks before larvae pupate in the soil. Susceptible Plants Onion maggots are an early season pest of root vegetables such as onion, garlic, carrot, and radish, whereas cabbage maggots are mainly a pest of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, radishes, and turnips. Prevention Methods Most root maggot adults are attracted to rotting organic matter; avoid incorporating animal manure or green manure in spring. When possible, delay planting susceptible plants until the threat of root maggots is reduced, which is generally after June 1st. Plant crops in well-drained soils and only when the soil temperatures exceed 50° F. Row covers are effective during flight periods and must be set up in your garden by the time adults flies are laying eggs which is usually early to mid-May. Don't use row covers if onions or other root vegetables or cucurbits were planted in the same area the previous year.

  • Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control
    Chapter 1 Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control Joyce E. Parker, William E. Snyder, George C. Hamilton and Cesar Rodriguez‐Saona Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/55044 1. Introduction There is growing public concern about pesticides’ non-target effects on humans and other organisms, and many pests have evolved resistance to some of the most commonly-used pesticides. Together, these factors have led to increasing interest in non-chemical, ecologically- sound ways to manage pests [1]. One pest-management alternative is the diversification of agricultural fields by establishing “polycultures” that include one or more different crop varieties or species within the same field, to more-closely match the higher species richness typical of natural systems [2, 3]. After all, destructive, explosive herbivore outbreaks typical of agricultural monocultures are rarely seen in highly-diverse unmanaged communities. There are several reasons that diverse plantings might experience fewer pest problems. First, it can be more difficult for specialized herbivores to “find” their host plant against a back‐ ground of one or more non-host species [4]. Second, diverse plantings may provide a broader base of resources for natural enemies to exploit, both in terms of non-pest prey species and resources such as pollen and nectar provided by the plant themselves, building natural enemy communities and strengthening their impacts on pests [4]. Both host-hiding and encourage‐ ment of natural enemies have the potential to depress pest populations, reducing the need for pesticide applications and increasing crop yields [5, 6]. On the other hand, crop diversification can present management and economic challenges for farmers, making these schemes difficult to implement.

  • Cabbage Maggot Delia Radicum (Linnaeus); Family: Anthomyiidae
    IDL INSECT DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY Cornell University, Dept. of Entomology, 2144 Comstock Hall, Ithaca NY 14853-2601 Cabbage Maggot Delia radicum (Linnaeus); Family: Anthomyiidae Cabbage maggots infesting the roots. Injury The cabbage maggot can seriously injure cabbage, cauliflower, turnip, radish, and related crucifer crops. Early planted crucifers, or seedbeds of late ones, are more likely to be attacked. The young maggot begins feeding on the tender rootlets and then rasps out a channel in the main root of the plant. An early indication of attack to the cabbage plant is the symptom of the plant wilting badly during the heat of the day. The plants may take on a bluish cast. The plant either dies in a few days or persists in a sickly condition for some time. In cases where the plant dies quickly, there usually are a large number of maggots that riddle the root, making way for decay organisms to get in and take over quickly. If such a plant is dug up, one should be able to see the whitish maggots, which may at first resemble a grain of rice, in the soil around the roots of the injured plants. Brown tunnels in stems or roots of older plants are also evident Description Cabbage maggots are true flies (Diptera), closely related to the seed corn maggot. The adults are gray, long- legged flies a little smaller than the common house fly. Home gardeners seldom see them. The larvae (maggots) are white, legless, tapered toward the head, and have hook-shaped black mouthparts that curve downward, for rasping plant tissue.

  • Cabbage Root Fly (Delia Radicum
    Cabbage root fly (Delia radicum L.) www.diptera.info The adult fly is similar at first look to the housefly in shape and colouring, but it is smaller (body length 6-7 mm). The males are darker, hairier and usually smaller than the females. Reliable determination of species identity requires special taxonomic knowledge and can be performed only by experts. The larva can reach the length of 8-9 mm, it is The adult fly which whitish, a typical maggot. is caught in the trap Host plants of the larvae include: cruciferous plants, i.e. cabbage relatives (cauliflower, kohlrabi, common white cabbage, etc.), radishes, rape (canola), mustard, etc. Its importance appears to be growing in rape production. Damage: the larvae damage inside the roots. Occasionally they can come up to the stem also. As a result of their damage seedlings wither, there is a blueish colouring on the leaves, finally the plants die. The trap should be placed inside the field or to its edge, in the height of 20-30 cm (in the spring) or at the upper level of vegetation (summer- autumn). Recommended beginning of trapping in Hungary is beginning of April. ® Selectivity of the CSALOMON trap: the lure in the cabbage root fly trap is NOT a pheromone, rather a feeding attractant, therefore it catches both https://extension.entm.purdue.edu/ female and male flies. It can attract other related flies with cruciferous http://apps.rhs.org.uk host plants (i.e. Delia floralis).

  • Cabbage Root Maggot (Delia Radicum) Identification: Life Cycle
    Cabbage Root Maggot (Delia radicum) Identification: Cabbage root maggot (CRM) flies are delicate, hump-backed gray-brown flies, about 5-7 mm long. Onion, seedcorn and cabbage maggot flies are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but each will only be found on and near their appropriate crop family. Small (⅛”), white, bullet-shaped eggs are laid in soil. Maggots are white and legless and can be found in and around roots. Life Cycle: Life cycle. CRM overwinters as small brown pupae in the soil near roots of fall brassica crops where the larvae fed. Adults emerge in spring and can travel up to a mile in search of host plants. Eggs are laid in the soil at the base of the stem of host crops. Cool, moist soil conditions favor survival of the eggs, and soil temperatures that exceed 95°F in the top 2-3 inches will kill them. Larvae feed on roots and pupate in the soil. A late summer flight (late August, early September) may damage fall root crops. There are 3-4 generations per year in central New England. Onset of Spring Flight. A good indicator of cabbage maggot flight is blooming of the common roadside weed, yellow rocket or wintercress (Barbarea vulgaris); good photos can be found at the online UMass Weed Herbarium. Cumulative growing degree days (GDD) and indicator plants can be used to more specifically pin-point activity of cabbage maggot fly in your area. Many GDD models are base 50°C, but because cabbage root maggots are active at lower temperatures, GDD models should be base 4°C.

  • The Emergence of Delia Radicum in Relation To
    THE EMERGENCE OF DELIA RADICUM IN RELATION TO AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE. -by - GRAHAM BRINDLE This thesis was subm1tted to the Council for National Academic Awards, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Plymouth Polytechnic (in collaboration with ADAS, Starcross) July 1987 Graham Brindle The emergence of cabbage root fly (Delia radicum) in relation to agricultural practice cabbage root fly passes through three generations a year in the south of England. The first generation peaks in late April to early May having overwintered in diapause. Recently, populations have been discovered in which the emergence of first generation flies was protracted, lasting until m1d-July. The project aimed to investigate the incidence of late emergence in Devon and to examine the ways in which late ernergers differed from early ernergers in their progress through diapause. A new emergence trap was developed and used in conjunction with yellow water traps to monitor the emergence of cabbage root fly populations at locations of contrasting agricultural practice. Late emergence was widespread in Devon, occurring later (up to September), and in a greater proportion of some populations than any previously reported. The phenomenon appears to be a response to the planting of brassicas in June, as flies emerging at the normal time may not be able to locate a host crop. Emergence in a substantial proportion of one population was delayed for a year. This has not been been previously reported in cabbage root fly and represents a 'sit and wait' strategy associated with short-lived habitats, occurring in patches often separated by considerable distances but which frequently reappear in approximately the same location.
