Summary

The phenology of the emergence of brassica pod midge from overwintering sites and its subsequent infestation of winter oil-seed rape crops on a farm in southern England was studied over 3 years. Two generations occurred each year. The first generation of adults emerged from mid-May or early June until early July from overwintering cocoons in soil at sites where oil-seed rape had been grown in the previous year or years. Many females and a few males migrated to flowering winter rape crops where eggs were laid in the pods. Mature larvae dropped daily from the pods from early or mid-June until late July or early August, and formed cocoons in the soil. The second generation of adults emerged from late June until mid-July or early August to lay further eggs in the crop. Larvae from these eggs dropped to the soil to diapause within cocoons for up to 3 years.
