Cauliflower is most important vegetable crop of India. Its helps to farmers to increases their yield and income also helped to growing economic wealth. But at the same time it’s attacked by several factors like abiotic factors (temperature, relative humidity, rainfall) and biotic factors ( insect pest and disease). Diamondback moth is a very destructive and serious pest of cauliflower that could damages 52% yield. The abiotic parameters are unpredictable and hence can affect both in quality and quantity of the cabbage production. These different abiotic parameters are directly influence the incidence of the cabbage insect pests. The present study of review to evaluate the seasonal incidence of diamondback moth in cabbage crop and impact of weather parameters on its population dynamics.
