katyayani Diamond Back Moth Lure (PLUTELLA XYLOSTELLA)

Diamondback Moth (Cabbage Moth)

The Diamondback moth, also known as the cabbage moth, belongs to the Plutellidae family and the Plutella genus. It is a highly destructive cosmopolitan pest that severely impacts cruciferous crops. Distributed extensively in South-East Asia, this small, greyish-brown moth often features a cream-colored diamond-shaped band along its back. Although believed to have originated in Europe, South Africa, or the Mediterranean region, it has now spread globally. With a short life cycle of about 14 days at 25°C, high fecundity, and the ability to migrate long distances, the Diamondback moth poses a significant threat to crops. It primarily feeds on the leaves of cruciferous plants that produce glucosinolates, though not all such plants are equally attractive to this pest.
