We'll be looking for pollen beetles in our upcoming Spring OSR pest assessment. Their activity begins at ~12oC and can migrate into the crop at ~15oC. Crops are at risk between green-yellow bud (BBCH51-59). Photo from our ADAS Wales team β˜€οΈπŸͺ²

Our team @ADASRosemaund are busy carrying out OSR disease and cabbage stem flea beetle assessments! We use a passive method for CSFB where the plants dry out over buckets of water so the larvae exit, drop into the water and can be counted in a few weeks time πŸŒ±πŸ›

In the autumn we carry out in-field aphid and natural enemies assessments on wheat and OSR, and collect OSR plant samples for disease and CSFB assessments @ADASRosemaund
Out sampling this week for the @DefraSurvey a bit cold at times but met some friendly horses β„οΈπŸŽπŸŒ±

Data in the survey can be used to monitor and observe the geographic spread of pest and pathogen species over time, we're looking forward to seeing the analysis that can be done to get the most out of this dataset
