Abstract
The experiments were carried out at Shebin Elkom center, Menoufia
Governorate, Egypt under field conditions on some Brassicae vegetables along
two seasons (2021/2022) and (2022/2023). Current study
aimed to investigate the population dynamics of the Diamond back moth,
Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) and the impact of
abiotic factors (high temperature, low temperature, relative humidity). Results
revealed that Diamond back moth (DBM) was abundant infestation levels during
autumn season and the beginning of winter season on cabbage, broccoli,
cauliflower and red cabbage. Results indicated that the highest numbers of
infestation were recorded at December2021 &October 2021 at the first season
of study, while the lowest numbers of infestations were recorded on November
2021& January 2022. The highest number of infestations with (DBM) recorded
on December 2022 & November 2022 at the second season of study, while the
lowest numbers of infestations were recorded on October 2022 & January
