Experimental trials of an integrated pest management programme for Plutella xylostella (L.)

The approach to control diomond-back (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) is basically that of chemical. In the Cameron Highlands, the widespread and indiscriminate use of pesticides has resulted in numerous undesirable problems; hence prompting the need for a more rational outlook, the integrated pest m...
