Delta Pheromone Trap with DBM Pheromone Lure for controlling Diamondback Moth (Plutella xylostella)
In Stock

Descriptions

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), sometimes called the cabbage moth, is a moth species of the family Plutellidae and genus Plutella. The small, grayish-brown moth sometimes has a cream-colored band that forms a diamond along its back. The species may have originated in Europe, South Africa, or the Mediterranean region, but it has now spread worldwide. Diamondback moths are considered pests as they feed on the leaves of cruciferous crops and plants that produce glucosinolates and make windows on by feeding on leaves. Originally, pesticides were used to kill the moths but diamondbacks have developed resistance to many of the common chemicals. For this reason, new biological and chemical controls, as well as different planting methods are being pursued to reduce the destruction caused by the moths.

Damage: Plant damage is caused by larval feeding. Although the larvae are very small, they can be quite numerous, resulting in the complete removal of foliar tissue except for the leaf veins. This is particularly damaging to seedlings and may disrupt head formation in cabbage and cauliflower.
