| dc.description.abstract | This report documents the resurgence and management of diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, in Arizona and California Cole crop production from 2017–2021 following a widespread outbreak of an insecticide-resistant population in fall 2016. Survey data collected from pest control advisors (PCAs) and growers over four seasons revealed minimal DBM impact on yields and control costs compared to the 2016 outbreak. Monitoring data, PCA reports, and insecticide efficacy trials indicate that subsequent DBM populations were susceptible to standard insecticides, including diamides. Results highlight the value of transplants, weather patterns, and proactive resistance monitoring in avoiding DBM outbreaks in desert production systems. | en_US |
