The results of experiments conducted in cabbage at Bangalore, South India revealed that Emamectin Benzoate costs the least deterred the moth catches. Chlorantranilirpole and Spinosad plots were also recorded more number of moth catches in water traps. The results also showed that Emamectin Benzoate sprayed in pheromone traps installed plots was significantly superior in terms of DBM management over other insecticides sprayed in pheromone installed plots and also when the same insecticides sprayed alone without pheromone traps. This indicated that there was no interactions of the insecticides for moth catches in pheromone traps at the same time there will be control of DBM population under field conditions.
