From Lithuania to Belarus, our next station in our pest and beneficial insect blog. René Brand and Mikhail Lamanos are talking about the pest pressure in Belarus. Due to the cold conditions since the beginning of september there is no huge pest problems. At these temperatures, the pests do not feel comfortable. But in this year, many farmers used seeds with lumiposa treatment. The lumiposa treates seeds looks more vigorous and more developed with more biomass.

Next station: Lithuania! What is the situation on the rapeseed fields here Vyginta and Robertas? We can see very good developed rapeseed plants, but in other regions of Lithuania, there is a big pressure of slugs. 

How strong is the rapeseed pest pressure in the northern part of Germany? Take a look and find out. We have visited an old rapeseed field, to see what is happening here - are the cabbage stem flea beetle and the slugs already on the fields?

The rapeseed is sown and the pests will come soon to damage our rapeseed plants. So let's start with the monitoring of the pests with the yellow trap and a shelter for the slugs.
