The cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) has emerged as a significant pest in the cultivation of oilseed rape, this has had an enormous effect on hectarage in the UK and the financial impact to farm businesses and the agricultural economy is marked.
Increased environmental legislation on the part of successive governments and the growing resistance to pyrethroids – which have previously acted as the last line of defence, means the industry can no longer look to chemical inputs for the answer. There is no question that a more holistic approach to this CSFB threat is needed.
“Limagrain’s CSFB Resilience is a novel and exciting genetic approach that protects against CSFB. The success of resilience can be defined by noticeably reduced CSFB damage at the end of the growing season.”
