Since two years diamondback moth and cabbage maggot have been monitored in cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. In both cultures the same systems are used to detect the presence of the insect. For diamondback moth the pheromonetrap is used, and for cabbage maggot a trap with a specific odour. The results of the counting of the moth and maggot in cauliflower and brussels sprouts are comparable, consequently not all the fields have to be monitored in order to picture the presence of these insects. This means a saving of time to carry out monitoring and warning.
