| Summary: | The data contain information on the number of cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larva in winter oilseed rape plants in southern Sweden 1968-2018. A monitoring program for cabbage stem flea beetles in southern Sweden winter oilseed rape fields started in 1969. These data were collected over a 50-year period from commercial winter oilseed rape fields across Scania, the southernmost county in Sweden, by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and its predecessors as well as the Swedish Board of Agriculture. The sampling region of Scania, Sweden was divided into five subregions: (1) southeast, (2) southwest, (3) west, (4) northeast, and (5) northwest. For each subregion we also include data on daily maximum and minimum temperature data in Celsius from 1968-2018. The total area planted to winter oilseed rape in Scania, the mean regional number of cold days and the North Atlantic Oscillation index are reported. Lastly, P. chrysocephala density in winter oilseed rape across five subregions in the UK from 2001-2020 are extracted from a plot in a public report and reported. The data in the CSFB_Scania_NAs2010-11.csv file have information on crop planting date, the total number of P. chrysocephala larvae detected, number of plants sampled, the density of larva (total larvae/plants examined), sampling date, year, subregion, whether a seed coating or spray pesticide was used in the field and whether the sample was from a commercial field or from an experiment. 3118 rows. Five files have daily maximum and minimum temperatures for each subregion 1968-2018 (NorthwestInsectYear.csv, NortheastInsectYear.csv, SoutheastInsectYear.csv, SouthwestInsectYear.csv, WestInsectYear.csv). All weather data comes from Swedish weather data website https://www.smhi.se/data. 18,566 rows in the NorthwestInsectYear.csv, 18,606 rows in the NortheastInsectYear.csv, 18,574 rows in the SoutheastInsectYear.csv, 18,574 rows in the SouthwestInsectYear.csv, 18,574 rows in the WestInsectYear.csv.
