Studies were conducted in the detection and management of insecticide resistance in Diamondback Moth in Georgia.  Rotation of insecticides for reducing the selection for resistance in Diamondback Moth were equally effective in Diamondback Moth control and cabbage yield as single insecticide programs. A bioassay was developed for monitoring Diamondback Moth response to the new diamide insecticides.
