Tofu wastewater containing a high proportion of organic compound may cause various adverse impacts, such as water pollution which bad smell and degrading the aesthetics environment. The efforts uses tofu is liquid fertilizer. aims this study was to determine effect on cabbage growth preference Plutella xylostella. experiment carried out from April June 2018, at Ciparanje Experimental Field, Fac...

one species of eulophidae, oomyzus sokolowskii (kurdjumov), was collected from larvae of the diamondback moth, plutella xylostella (l.) (lep.: plutellidae). this parasitoid is a major gregarious larval-pupal endoparasitoid of p. xylostella that prefers ovipositing into host larvae but depositing its eggs in host prepupae too. this is the first report of the occurrence of this species from iran.

Plutella xylostella was the first insect for which resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis was reported in the field, yet despite many studies on the nature of this resistance phenotype its genetic and molecular basis remains elusive. Many different factors have been proposed as contributing to resistance, although in many cases it has not been possible to establish a causal link. Indeed, there ar...

The larvae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, cause major economic losses to cruciferous crops, including cabbage, which is an important vegetable crop in China. In this study, we used the mitochondrial COI gene and 11 ISSR markers to characterize the genetic structure and seasonal migration routes of 23 P. xylostella populations in China. Both the mitochondrial and nuclear markers r...

—The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella [L.]), is one of the most economically important pests of cruciferous plants throughout the world, causing economically significant damage in broccoli, cabbage, canola, collards, and mustard. In Canada, P. xylostella is an important economic pest of canola (Brassica napus L. and Brassica rapa L.). In North America, the diamondback moth has been collect...

Outbreaks of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), are being documented more frequently in many regions of the world and the causes for the outbreaks are often associated with insecticide resistance and lack of natural enemies, the latter often due to use of broad-spectrum insecticides. Growers are likely to think of insect management on an individual field basis (i.e. their fields) witho...

Understanding how inbreeding affects fitness is biologically important for conservation and pest management. Despite being a worldwide pest of many economically important cruciferous crops, the influence of inbreeding on diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), populations is currently unknown. Using age-stage-specific life tables, we quantified the inbreeding effects on fitness-related trai...

it has been hypothesized that the survival, development, fecundity and population of insects are affected significantly by high temperatures. the diamondback moth, plutella xylostell (l.) (lepidoptera: plutellidae), is a serious and economically important pest of cruciferous crops throughout the word. in this research, the adult longevity and fecundity of p. xylostella were studied in laborator...

Biological control agents are a promising substitute for chemical pesticides in agricultural pest management. In this study, Penicillium sp. with high pathogenicity to the pests oriental leafworm moth (Spodoptera litura) and diamondback (Plutella xylostella) were isolated from naturally infected insects grown on different residues as an inexpensive substrate their sporulation. Ten strains of (P...
