Abstract
The diamondback moth (DBM) is a significant pest in Arizona brassica crops, presenting ongoing management challenges. This document offers practical, Arizona-specific guidelines for controlling DBM in both transplant production and field settings. It emphasizes careful transplant inspection, timely scouting, sanitation, insecticide rotation, and the integration of biological control strategies. These recommendations aim to help growers and pest control advisors achieve effective, sustainable DBM management while reducing the risk of resistance.
