What pesticide is used to control cabbage caterpillars

For controlling cabbage caterpillars, chlorantraniliprole, indoxacarb, abamectin·chlorantraniliprole, Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus, flubendiamide, tetrachlorantraniliprole, etc. are recommended. Do not use a single-ingredient pesticide for a long time; alternate and rotate pesticides with different ingredients to reduce pest resistance to pesticides; apply the pesticide during the peak hatching period or when the pest larvae are young. The details can be as follows:

Apply the pesticide during the 1st to 2nd instar larval stage, that is, the period before the larvae have bored into the fruit to cause damage, so as to kill the larvae before they bore into the fruit. You may choose 2.5% deltamethrin emulsifiable concentrate at 2000 times, 2.5% cyhalothrin emulsifiable concentrate at 2000 times, 4.5% beta-cypermethrin emulsifiable concentrate at 1500 times, 5% Cascade emulsifiable concentrate at 2000 times solution, 35% Nomolt emulsifiable concentrate at 2000 times solution, 10% fenpropathrin-malathion emulsifiable concentrate at 1500 times solution, 48% chlorpyrifos emulsifiable concentrate at 1500 times solution, 21% methomyl emulsifiable concentrate at 4000 times solution, etc., and spray in the evening. Each pesticide may be used only 2 times per season, and pesticides should be rotated to slow down the development of pest resistance.
