Episode description
Diamondback Moth is an occasional pest of canola, but severe infestations of adults and/or caterpillars can cause up to 80 per cent yield losses in canola and other brassica crops.
This pest can also rapidly develop insecticide resistance and an integrated pest management plan is advised for sustainable control.
