Biological control of Plutella xylostella : a global perspective
The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is the major cosmopolitan pest of brassica and other crucifer crops. In many areas of the world, where such crops are grown for cash, the wide scale overuse of insecticides has created an ongoing resistance management problem. Until implementation of a more integrated (IPM) approach to the pest management of DBM and other crucifer pests is more widespread, the role of biological control will remain confined largely to forage and other low value crops.
