Abstract
Field trials, involving winter and spring oilseed rape, were carried out during the 2009 and 2010 cropping seasons to investigate the sensitivity of pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus F.) to the insecticides, belonging to different classes (pyrethroids, neonicotinoids and organophosphates) as well as the efficacy of different dose rates of Karate zeon 5 CS (a.i. λ-cyhalothrin) against pollen beetles. All the insecticides used in winter and spring rape significantly reduced the number of pollen beetles 1–3 days after application, compared with the untreated plots; however, the sensitivity of pollen beetles to the tested insecticides in the field conditions was similar, significant differences among the applied insecticides were not observed. It was determined that the recommended field dose rate of the insecticide Karate zeon and its double and quadruple dose rates did not kill all pollen beetles in the field conditions (efficacy <100%). This implies that the application of Karate zeon in the field conditions in Dotnuva resulted in the development of partial resistance to λ-cyhalothrin in the population of pollen beetles.
