Pollen beetles (Meligethes aeneus) and cabbage seed weevils (Ceutorhynchus assimilis) are major pests of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) throughout Europe. In field cage experiments in both winter and spring rape, honey bees (Apis mellifera) effectively transported the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae to the flowers, causing infection and mortality of both adult and larval pollen beetles, as well as of adult seed weevils. External conidiation was observed on many of the dead pest insects. Although some external conidiation also occurred on dead honey bees, reduction in honey bee colony size during the experiments appeared unrelated to the fungus. The potential of this technique for integration into pest management strategies for the crop, particularly in association with a trap crop, is discussed. |
