24 SUMMARY Pyrethroid resistance in pollen beetles stabilized or partly reversed? Reduced susceptibility towards thiacloprid of concern. Indoxacarb is effective, also against pollen beetles with reduced sensitivity to pyrethroids and thiacloprid Resistance in flea beetles not investigated Development of alternative control methods and anti-resistance strategies important to avoid more serious resistance problems Trap crops with summer turnip rape promising control method for flea and pollen beetles in spring oilseed rape Treatment threshold exceeded less often Pests on trap crop must be effectively controlled at the right time to avoid immigration and damage in the main crop Occurrence of species complex of flea beetles and pollen beetles in spring oilseed crops: Effect of insecticides, resistance dynamics and IPM-strategies? 24
