<p>Pollen beetle (Meligethes spp.) adults are approximately 2.5 mm,
metallic greenish-black. Females bite oilseed rape buds and lay their eggs
inside. Adults and larvae attack buds and flowers, resulting in withered
buds and reduced pod set. In oilseed rape, adult and larval feeding can
lead to bud abortion and reduced pod set. However, damage rarely results
in reduced yields for winter crops. Spring crops are more vulnerable, as
the susceptible green/yellow bud stage often coincides with beetle migration.
<p>Pollen beetle (Meligethes spp.) adults are approximately 2.5 mm, metallic
greenish-black. Oilseed rape is only vulnerable to pollen beetle damage if large
numbers of adult beetles migrate into the crop during green bud stage (BBCH
Growth stages 51-59). Adult females bite oilseed rape buds and lay their eggs
inside, resulting in withered buds and reduced pod set. Migration can be predicted
based on daily maximum air temperature; migrations begins at 12 degrees Celsius,
and large numbers migrate above 15 degrees Celsius. Where a high risk of migration
coincides with the vulnerable growth stage, crops should be monitored and an
appropriate threshold used to inform management decisions.

<p>Oilseed rape is only vulnerable if large numbers of pollen
beetle migrate into the crop during green bud stage. This DSS predicts
migration into crops based on air temperature, and so can be used to
evaluate risk to crop. Daily maximum air temperature is used to predict Migration
Risk. The default value of 15 degrees celsius is used, as that is the
temperature advised in the UK at which pollen beetles will fly.

<p>This DSS was adapted from work carried out in the UK, and is
considered applicable, but not yet validated in, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, France, Germany, Rep. Ireland, and Denmark. Only to be used during
Oilseed rape growth stages 51-59. This model is a simplification of a more detailed
model described in Ferguson et al. (2015) Pest Management Science 72, 609-317.
