Thanks to the recent exceptionally warm and sunny days, meligèthes have sometimes made a sudden appearance in colza fields. With weather conditions expected to be favorable (or even very favorable) for the arrival of insects - meligèthes and weevils - we advise caution and regular monitoring for at least the next 15 days. Weakened plots (flea beetle larvae, wet soils in February, low biomass, etc.) are the most at risk.

Overall, the colza plots are now in the sensitive stage for meligèthes: stage D1, D2 for the most part, stage E for the earliest. The F1 stage could be reached before March 20-25 in the earliest situations.
