ABSTRACT

The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), a serious pest of crucifers has become a single limiting factor in the production of quality heads. Due to high reproductive capacity and ability to withstand pesticides, DBM has developed resistance to all groups of insecticides. As a consequence of resistance and various undesirable side effects of intensive insecticide application, increasing attention has been paid to alternate strategies such as IPM, a programmed approach including both cultural and biological control and the use of more selective insecticides.
