Abstract
Cabbage (Brassica oleraceae L.) has a strong potential to grow and to meet domestic needs. Cabbage has also the possibility to be exported. It is a grievous fact that the cabbage production fails to meet the increasing demands in national and international markets. The damage caused by pest attacks is considered a major concern. Therefore, in this research, we examined the efficacy of controlling pests using light and pheromone traps. The objective was to evaluate its efficiency in controlling several main pests in cabbage. Employing Randomized Block Design Non-Factorial, these treatments consisted of LED-light trap (P1), sex-pheromone of Crocidolomia binotalis (P2), and sex-pheromone of Plutella xylostella (P3). Each treatment was replicated three times. Independent 10 traps/ha were applied for each treatment. The results revealed the application of light traps efficiently controlled a higher number of cabbage P. xylostella and C. binotalis compared to sex pheromones traps at vegetative and generative stages of plant growth. The light trap caught both sexes of pests, lowering their population in the field and reducing their possibility of mating and reproducing new generations. The average number of insects captured, eggs, and larvae were high, causing lower plant damage, resulting in plants performing well and producing better yield (1.75 kg) compared to plants with sex pheromone traps (1.18 and 0.92 kgs).
