Abstract

The kale moth (Plutella xylostella) is an insect that causes brassica production losses, it presents resistance to insecticides resulting in difficult handling and consequently demands greater applications of pesticides leading to the reduction of natural enemies and environmental pollution, in this sense, the research aimed to evaluate the occurrence of Cotesia plutellae parasitoids on P. xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in brassica cultures. analysis of variance, it was found parasitism percentages of C. plutellae on P. xylostella of 43.12%, 26.79%, 20.83 and 13.73% for the Tronchuda, Mustard, KK Cross and Copenhagen Market varieties, in larval stage 1 (L1) the highest average density was recorded when the larvae had the Tronchuda variety as host with 9.92 larvae/plant, being the recorded in Mustard, KK Cross and Copenhagen varieties.
