Abstract: The larvae of the flea beetle Phyllotreta striolata feed on the roots of crops, while the adults feed on the leaves. It has a wide range of damage and poses a serious threat to vegetable production safety in China, becoming a major pest of cruciferous vegetables after the diamondback moth. This article summarized the research progress on P. striolata both domestically and internationally, with a focus on its biological and ecological characteristics, current control strategies, and pesticide screening. It was found that, the adult P.striolata were good at jumping with elytra protection, the larvae had fast development, overlapping generations and difficult control.Currently, chemical control is still the main method, but the resistance is significant and the lack of high-efficiency still aggrayates. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a scaled indoor rearing system for P. striolata populations and develop efficient insecticide screening techniques.
