The diamondback moth is a common pest of crops including cabbage, collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli, cauliflower and other leafy greens.
This insect has a long history of becoming resistant to insecticides beginning with DDT in 1953. Since then, DBM has become resistant to each new class of insecticide arriving to the market whenever those insecticides were used intensively and repeatedly to control a DBM population.
Prevention is critical. To delay the onset of resistance follow the practices listed in this circular. Even if resistance is detected in an area, these tips can inhibit its spread and preserve insecticide effectiveness.
