“… Todorov et al (2022) provide a list of parasitoid species found in oilseed rape fields in Bulgaria with comments on perspectives for biological control, but only for the family Pteromalidae . Oilseed rape pests, on the other hand, are relatively well studied in Serbian fields from both taxonomical and traditional chemical management aspects ( Kereši et al 2007 , Sekulić and Kereši 2007 , Štrbac et al 2007 , Mitrović et al 2008 , Milovac et al 2010 , Graora et al 2013 , Milovanović et al 2013 , Graora et al 2015 , Sivčev et al 2015 , Sivčev et al 2016 , Milovac 2016 , Marjanović and Prodanović 2021 ). Similarly, the parasitoid wasp fauna of other crops in Serbia, especially cereals and alfalfa, has also been well studied ( Tomanović et al 2003 , Kavallieratos et al 2004 , Kavallieratos et al 2005a , Kavallieratos et al 2005b , Tomanović et al 2008 , Žikić et al 2012 , Tomanović et al 2021 ), but currently, there is a gap in knowledge of the parasitoid wasp fauna in oilseed rape.…”

Oilseed rape is an important crop grown worldwide and used for various purposes, including oil extraction and animal feed. In Europe, there are six major pest species and several other minor pests that can significantly affect oilseed rape production, requiring growers to effectively control them in order to ensure crop yield. The host-parasitoid complexes of these pests have been studied in detail and recorded mainly in western, central and northern Europe. As an abundant source of pollen and nectar, oilseed rape may also be attractive to other parasitoids that do not have direct trophic interactions with oilseed rape pest species. The aim of this study is to fill the knowledge gap regarding the wider parasitoid community in oilseed rape fields, particularly in southern Europe. During the two-year study, a total of 3135 specimens of primary and secondary parasitoids were sampled, of which 2855 were found in oilseed rape fields and 280 in semi-natural habitats. We found 153 taxa, of which 119 were found in oilseed rape fields and 87 in semi-natural habitats. We identified 31 genera (33 species) as parasitoids of oilseed rape pests, 54 genera (97 species) parasitising non-pest species and 10 genera (23 species) as possible parasitoids of oilseed rape pests. This study shows that the parasitoid community in oilseed rape fields is very diverse and that includes parasitoids of both oilseed rape pest and non-pest species.

This paper presents data on the dynamic of B. aeneus populations in winter oilseed rape in the downriver section of the Danube in Serbia, which were acquired by yellow water traps and a beating method. Their susceptibility to several insecticides of different classes (organophosphates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids) (adult vial test and dipping test) was tested over two seasons (2009 and 2010). B. aeneus populations developing under the agroecological conditions that exist in Serbia were monitored to detect the moment of OSR infestation during its sensitive growth stages. Adults were counted, and the data revealed that they infest winter OSR crops during the stem elongation growth stage (BBCH 30-31), reaching a population peak at the green-yellow bud stage (BBCH 57-59), and exceeding the economic threshold, while the populations decreased substantially during the subsequent stage (BBCH 61-69). Laboratory test results did not confirm any changes in B. aeneus susceptibility/resistance to pyrethroid, organophosphate and neonicotinoid insecticides. Migration of B. aeneus populations was monitored as a way of developing predictive models for estimation of infestation severity and the timing of pest outbreaks under agroecological conditions existing in Serbia. As resistance to pyrethroids has been confirmed in B. aeneus populations in many European countries, their susceptibility will be further monitored.
