Biology and Control of the Cabbage Seedpod Weevil - A New Pest of Canola in Alberta

Researcher:

Dr. Lloyd Dosdall, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton

Project Code:

CARP 9908

Final Report:

March 2001

Summary:

The cabbage seedpod weevil was first discovered in 1995 in canola fields in Alberta, and by 1999 serious outbreaks occurred throughout southern and central Alberta. Through this study researchers determined aspects of cabbage seedpod weevil biology, monitoring strategies and potential chemical insecticides for control. Results indicate that canola growers need to scout their crops early and monitor populations to plan for insecticide control if necessary.
