Cultural and management practices

Plant Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) as a trap crop between several rows of common cabbage to attract most Cabbagehead caterpillar (CHC) moths and some Diamondback moth (DBM) adults (Parker, et. al., 1995). Mustard attracts almost the entire population of CHC and 80% DBM (CABI, 2000). Remove the trap crops when these are heavily infested with the pests or else these pests will transfer to the main crop.
