Technical Comments
Many species of lepidoptera lay their eggs on to commercial crops where their caterpillars can cause extensive damage. Currently the primary biological control is the nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae, while the predatory bug Macrolophus, (see whitefly section) and lacewing larvae (see aphid section) will both feed on moth eggs as well as young caterpillar. Pheromone traps ( pages) can be used to monitor adult moth activity of a number of species. Lepinox Plus (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki) is a biopesticide spray with both curative and preventative activity for caterpillar.
