Integrated Management of Insect Pests on Canola and Other Brassica Oilseed Crops

Brassica oilseeds comprise canola, mustard, camelina and crambe and are the most important oilseed crops in the world. Among these, canola is the second largest oilseed crop providing 13% of the world’s supply. Seeds of these species commonly contain 40% or more oil and produce meals containing 35-40% protein. However, canola production has been in decline in recent years as a result of insect pest problems. These pest complexes often demand high insecticide application.
This book:
* is the only single compiled source of information on integrated management of canola and other Brassica oilseed pests
* presents the biology and management of all the major and minor pests of Brassica oilseed crops
* is an essential source of information for applied entomologists, crop protection researchers, extension agents and stake holders
The book has been written by an international team of pest management practitioners and researchers
