Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) is the most damaging and problematic pest for brassica growers. Similarly, in New Zealand, DBM can render vegetable brassica crops unmarketable – through damage to leaves or contamination of harvested parts by larvae and pupae. Pesticide resistance, climate change and loss of traditional control options have only escalated the urgency to find more effective solutions to control DBM.

Join us for a discussion about Diamondback Moth (DBM), a significant pest of brassica, and what future options show promise for control of this species. In this webinar, we will explore IPM as a tool for effective control of DBM in New Zealand fresh produce crops and introduce emerging opportunities and tools that show promise to growers.
