Two field experiments were conducted in Hawaii to determine the responses of lepidopteran pests and their associated natural enemies to broccoli (Brassica oleracea), grown in monoculture or interplanted with chili pepper (Capsicum annuum), or yellow sweetclover (YSC) (Melilotus officinalis). The population responses of Artogeia rapae and Trichoplusia ni to habitat types were not consistent during the field trials. Additionally, their reactions to habitat diversification differed according to non-host plant species. For example, Trichoplusia ni densities were significantly lower in the broccoliÀYSC habitat contrasted with the broccoliÀpepper habitat on most sampling dates. Similarly, the proportion of plants damaged by Hellula undalis was significantly lower in the broccoliÀYSC habitat contrasted with broccoliÀpepper habitat. Findings from the study, suggest that biological control agents (e.g., spiders, parasitoids, and entomopathogens) are the most significant factors influencing the abundance of A. rapae in habitat type and that these agents inflict greater mortality on A. rapae in diculture than monoculture habitats.
