Cabbage pest population in the uninterrupted cultivation seasons

Abstract

The current research aimed to gather information of pests’ population in cabbage crops that were cultivated using the organic and conventional farming system in three consecutive months. Cabbages were planted every month for 3 consecutive months from March to May 2020 in the Margahayu Research Station, Lembang, West Java and the pests’ population was observed throughout the time of plant growth. Data shows the fluctuation of cabbage pests’ population including Plutella sp., Spodoptera sp, and Myzus sp. during those three planting seasons. The findings are particularly important in deciding effective control techniques to use and determining the right time to apply those control techniques.
