20.500.12556/RUL-171331 Cabbage stink bug (Eurydema ventralis Kolenati, 1846) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) - an increasingly important pest in Europe Eurydema ventralis Kolenati, 1846 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), commonly known as the cabbage stink bug, is an increasingly important pest in Brassicaceae crops across Europe, including Slovenia. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on the taxonomy, biology, distribution, and economic impact of Eurydema ventralis, with a focus on cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) cultivation. Various monitoring and population assessment methods are discussed as foundational tools for implementing integrated pest management (IPM). The focus of this study is on the available control strategies, including chemical, biological, cultural, and mechanical approaches. While synthetic insecticides remain a commonly used option, their environmental impact, potential for resistance development, and non-target effects raise concerns. Increasing research attention is being given to biological control agents, such as egg parasitoids, generalist predators (e.g., Coccinellidae, Carabidae, Nabidae), and entomopathogenic fungi. These agents show considerable promise but are not being fully utilized at present. A further review of cultural practices and mechanical control methods is also undertaken for their role in reducing pest populations. The compatibility of different strategies within an IPM framework is examined in detail. In conclusion, this review identifies existing knowledge gaps and puts forward a number of recommendations for future research directions. The purpose of these recommendations is to support the development of more sustainable and ecological pest management solutions for E. ventralis in cabbage cultivation. cabbage Brassicaceae stink bug integrated pest management monitoring biological control insecticide resistance cultural practices sustainable agriculture zelje kapusnice stenice varstvo rastlin integrirano varstvo rastlin biotično varstvo rastlin odpornost proti insekticidom kulturne prakse trajnostno kmetijstvo true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-08-22 15:11:02 2025-08-22 15:11:07 2025-08-26 03:27:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 23 str. iss. 16, art. 1779 Vol. 15 Aug. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 632 2077-0472 10.3390/agriculture15161779 246066691 Cabbage_Stink_Bug_(Eurydema_ventralis_Kolenati,_1846)_(Hemiptera__Pentatomidae)—An_Increasingly_Important_Pest_in_Europe.pdf Cabbage_Stink_Bug_(Eurydema_ventralis_Kolenati,_1846)_(Hemiptera__Pentatomidae)—An_Increasingly_Important_Pest_in_Europe.pdf 1 BBE69D6FF90138F4438183E57CA3337A 308037742f3cea61fb87257af42a5d3785cf694a2b4f268f885225f8895421ff b9731dc1-7f59-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=214597 https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0472/15/16/1779 1 5bcd95ba-7f59-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=214596 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
