There are quite a few options to control imported cabbageworm, cabbage looper and diamondback moth in Brassica crops. The following table lists a couple products that have been registered in the past year on different brassica crops including many specialty crops. Remember that it is easier to control smaller larvae and that it is important to alternate between chemical groups. Also, pyrethroid insecticides are more effective in cool conditions. The following are just guidelines so please read the label for directions of use. Always read and follow label directions. Refer to Publication 363 for more control recommendations.
