Abstract

Different cultural packages in controlling diamondback moth (DBM) on damage and yield differences of Copenhagen market cabbage variety were assessed. ‘Neem leaf extract+tomato intercrop+manure+mulch’; ‘Tomato intercrop+manure+mulch’; and ‘Neem leaf extract+manure+mulch’ treatments were compared with a popular commercial pesticide i.e. (Dimethoate) and Unsprayed treatments used as the control.
