binotalis Zell.)
 Taxonomy
Kingdom : Animalia

Species : Crocidolomia binotalis Zell
 THE LIFE CYCLE OF
(Crocidolomia binotalis
Zell.)
 EGG PHASE
The eggs are laid the
behind the leaves in
groups.
from each group
contains about 30-80
eggs.
The egg is flat and
looks roof tile with the
coloris clearEgg stage
for 3 days and then
hatch into larvae
 LARVAE PHASE
The new larvae live
in groups behind the
leaves.
The color of
caterpillars gray, then
changed to be green.
On the back there are
3 rows of yellowish
white and two lines
on the side
The head is black.
 after passing the larvae phase turn
into pupae and then into imago.
Crocidolomia binotalis Zell destroy
the plants at the larvae stage or when
they become caterpillars
 Symptoms of Damage
The larvae eat the
leaves at the bottom of
leaf and it make a
white patches around
the cabbage
The surface of leaf will
be dry and the vena
will be looks clearly
When the shoots are
attacked, the plants
can not establish the
crop.
 plants also
become
damaged by the
waste of food
from caterpillars.
Crop will be rot
because the
emergence of
fungi after
attack
 MANAGEMENT CONTROL
MECHANIC STEPS :
Eggs and larvae that
just hatched was taken
by a pointed stick and
given to chickens or it
can burned.This effort
can be done twice
every week
the use of resistant plants
with bacteria B. thuringiensis
Technical culture
Planting in the rainy season because
the pest population is the lowest.
Spraying with neem seed extract and
tuba (as a natural pesticide)
Using systemic insecticide
