Seasonal Abundance of the White Butterfly Pieris rapae L. in the old and reclaimed areas with reference to its relative susceptibility and damage to certain cabbage cultivars
Abstract:The main goal of this study was to determine the seasonal abundance of the white butterfly Pieris rapae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) on several local and imported cabbage cultivars in old and reclaimed lands. The impact of certain cabbage metabolites on P. rapae populations was examined, as well as the relative susceptibility of different cabbage cultivars. Damage caused by P. rapae Varies. During the first two months following transplantation, P. rapae can cause economic damage to cabbage plants in both areas. … Show more
