Ulat kubis Plutella xylostella L. merupakan salah satu hama yang bersifat oligofag menyerang tanaman dari jenis famili Cruciferae. Sehingga perlu dilakukan pengendalian tepat untuk menekan pertumbuhan P. xylostella. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu melakukan kombinasi antara Beauveria bassiana dengan ekstrak daun pepaya pada konsentrasi sublethal mengetahui kompatibilitas insektisida campuran dan me...

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L), is recognized as a widely distributed and serious pest of crucifers in many countries. In some countries, however, it is effectively suppressed by parasites. These are critically examined as are the various attempts to import parasites and to release them. The appraisal reveals that the parasites of P. xylostella are a valuable control component an...

Fitness costs associated with resistance to insecticides have been well documented, usually at normal temperature conditions, in many insect species. In this study, using chlorpyrifos-resistant homozygote (RR) and chlorpyrifos-susceptible homozygote (SS) of resistance ace1 allele of Plutella xylostella (DBM), we confirmed firstly that high temperature experience in pupal stage influenced phenot...

One component of developing a systematic approach for deployment of trap crops is to understand how the trap crop modifies pest behavior. Glossy-leafed collards, Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala (Brassicaceae), were evaluated as a potential trap crop for diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), because they are attractive to P. xylostella adults and are a poor ho...

Cotesia vestalis is an endoparasitic wasp that attacks larvae of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), a herbivore of cruciferous plants. Females of C. vestalis use herbivore-induced plant odorants released from plants infested by P. xylostella as a host-searching cue. Transcriptome pyrosequencing was used to identify genes in the antennae of C. vestalis adult females coding for odorant r...
