The imported cabbageworm, Pieris rapae Boisduval the tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius; and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni Hubner, were sampled from several major vegetable growing areas for the insecticide susceptibility study. For each species, susceptibilities differ among sampled populations resulted from resistance. The finding of this investigation indicated that the imported cabbageworms were free from the resistance problem and chemical control is a very effective measure for controlling this pest. The cabbage loopers are sensitive to neither mevinphos nor carbofuran and are very sensitive to the insecticidal action of synthetic pyrethroids. The test results clearly showed that resistance had developed in tobacco cut...
