The diamondback moth lays its eggs only on plants in the family Brassicaceae.

Diamondback moths are known to fly in a straight trajectory which is not dependent on the angle of the sun's rays.

The diamondback moth is considered a pest in areas that do not experience very cold winters, as these help to kill off overwintering moths.

The high nickel levels in the plant have also been shown to protect it against the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella).

This has now been found with diamondback moths in Hawaii and potato beetles in Florida.

One gene in diamondback moth confers resistance to four Bacillus thuringiensis toxins.

The diamondback moth is primarily a tropical species, but is migratory, reaching temperate zones in most years.

"Diamondback moth" may also refer to the ermine moth genus Scythropia.

The small Diamondback moth is also a migratory species that migrates 3,000 kilometers and can be found up to altitudes of 100 meters or more.

Both the Colorado potato beetle and the diamondback moth are insects that are resistant to many insecticides.

The Acrolepiidae family of moths are also known as False Diamondback moths.

In warm climates, the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) is perhaps the most serious pest of cabbage crops.

Genetic mapping of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis toxins in diamondback moth using biphasic linkage analysis.

Some of these are pest insects, such as the diamondback moth, Helicoverpa armigera, and Trichoplusia ni.

They are sometimes called "diamondback moths", which more often refers to Plutella xylostella of the fairly closely related Plutellidae.

Diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella)

This phenomenon has been tested for biological insect control: B. vulgaris plants are placed in a field and attract much of the diamondback moth egg load.

His discovery was followed by Professor Tabashnik's reports of resistance in diamondback moths after heavy exposure to sprays in Hawaii.

They perform a valuable service in gardens and orchards, eating insects harmful to produce, including aphids, scale insects, and the diamondback moth.

This type has atypical chemistry and is devoid of resistance to the diamondback moth and the flea beetle Phyllotreta nemorum.

The diamondback moth was the first insect found to have become resistant to biological control by the Bt toxin (Bacillus thuringiensis) in the field.

In some years the clouded yellow, Camberwell beauty, painted lady or diamondback moth may be seen, and the silver Y can sometimes occur in huge numbers.

Nosema spodopterae parasitising the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (a plutellid moth)

In the case of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and the flea beetle Phyllotreta nemorum, the resistance is caused by saponins.

In Hawaii and Japan and Tennessee, the diamondback moth evolved a resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis about three years after it began to be used heavily.

The high nickel levels in the plant have also been shown to protect it against the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella).

In warm climates, the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) is perhaps the most serious pest of cabbage crops.

They are sometimes called "diamondback moths", which more often refers to Plutella xylostella of the fairly closely related Plutellidae.

In the case of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and the flea beetle Phyllotreta nemorum, the resistance is caused by saponins.

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella or, in some literature known by the synonym P. maculipennis) is a member of the moth family Plutellidae.

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), sometimes called cabbage moth, is a European moth believed to originate in the Mediterranean region that has since spread worldwide.

In contrast, the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) possesses a completely different protein, glucosinolate sulfatase, which desulfates glucosinolates, thereby making them unfit for degradation to toxic products by myrosinase.

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and the cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae) thrive in the higher summer temperatures of continental Europe, where they cause considerable damage to cabbage crops.

Additionally the species is susceptible to browsing by livestock, rodents, snails, and insect herbivores such as aphids, leaf miners, the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), and the small cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae).

Use of Photorhabdus species alone as biopesticide, independent of its nematode symbiont against the cabbage white butterfly, Pieris brassicae, mango mealy bug, Drosicha mangiferae and the pupae of the diamond back moth, Plutella xylostella has been demonstrated successful.

Cotesia vestalis is a parasitoid wasp that appears to be able to detect volatile organic compounds emitted by the plant Brassica oleracea in response to herbivore damage, such as would be caused (for example) by heavy infestation with the wasp's host caterpillar Plutella xylostella.
