Biology of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and its future impact in Swedish oilseed rape production

The biology of the Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, and its impact on oilseed rape production is reviewed. The Diamondback moth, DBM, is a serious, migratory, pest and a problem worldwide because its larval stage has a ravenous appetite, which causes major economic losses in Brassica crops. Wi...

description The biology of the Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, and its impact on oilseed rape production is reviewed. The Diamondback moth, DBM, is a serious, migratory, pest and a problem worldwide because its larval stage has a ravenous appetite, which causes major economic losses in Brassica crops. With the effect of global warming and models predicting an increase in temperature an assessment of the future impact of this pest in Swedish oilseed rape production is performed. Sweden is possibly facing a major problem in the future having the DBM at its doorstep as an overwintering seasonal pest with the potential for several generations throughout the growing season. DBM pest status in Sweden varies with memory depending on how serious our sporadic infestations have been. Historical information on the infestations of the DBM in Sweden and reviews of scientific articles concerning DBM biology and control around the world, in particular Canada that shares the same Köppen climate classification, and future problems with the pest are presented. Given the right abiotic conditions it is plausible that DBM has a future as an overwintering pest in Sweden. Integrated pest management practices and creative cropping systems with Brassica crops will play an important role in controlling the pest.

Kålmalens (Plutella xylostella) biologi och dess framtida inverkan i Svensk oljeväxtodling är presenterat och granskat. Kålmalen är en allvarlig insekt som migrerar med vindar världen över. Kålmalen är en fruktad skadegörare i hela världen med sitt larvstadiums glupska aptit som orsakar stora ekonomiska förluster i Brassicagrödor. Med effekten av den globala uppvärmningen och modeller som förutspår en ökning av temperaturen så granskas de framtida effekterna på svensk oljeväxtodling. Sverige står möjligen inför ett framtida stort problem med kålmalen utanför sin tröskel som en övervintrande skadeinsekt med ett flertal generationer under växtsäsongen. Kålmalens status som skadeinsekt här i Sverige varierar med minnet om-, och, hur omfattande de sporadiska angreppen var. Tidigare information om angreppen av kålmal i Sverige och recensioner av vetenskapliga artiklar om kålmalens biologi och bekämpning runt om i världen, i synnerhet kanadensiska som delar en likadan Köppen klimatklassifikation och framtida problem med skadeinsekten, presenteras. Med de rätta abiotiska förhållanden så är det troligt att kålmalen har en framtid som övervintrande skadeinsekt i Sverige. Integrerat växtskydd och kreativitet i odlingssystem med Brassicagrödor kommer spela en avgörande roll i bekämpandet av kålmalen som skadeinsekt. 2016-09-21 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/9645/1/hermansson_j_161010.pdf Hermansson, Joakim, 2016.
