OCCURRENCE OF PHYLLOTRETA STRIOLATA , THE STRIPED FLEA BEETLE, IN OPEN PRAIRIE, FOREST, AND PARKLAND OF SASKATCHEWAN (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE)
Abstract In Saskatchewan the range of Phyllotreta striolata (F.), a pest of parkland rapeseed crops, includes the open prairie in the southwest and the boreal forest in the north. The population of P. striolata on the open prairie is small, with cruciferous weeds being the major host plants. Crucife...
