An integrative strategy for the sustainable control of diamondback moth (plutella xylostella) by conservation of natural enemies and application of biocontrol agents.

Objective

An integrated sustainable management system for the control of diamondback moth (DBM) Luella xylostella and other pests which are associated with it in Chinese and Indonesian cabbage crops. It will be based on a combination of various biological control agents: parasitoids against eggs, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and viruses for early stage larvae and entomopathogenic nematodes for third and fourth stage larvae. Improved, reliable, well formulated and cost-reasonable biological control agents will be developed for supply to farmers. Training will be provided to farmers and extension personnel through farmer field schools in order to facilitate the introduction of biological control pest management of DBM into the field.
