Abstract
A comparison between deltamethrin and Neem kernel solution treatments on Pl utella xylostella (L.) populations was made in the Cotonou peri-urban area. Diamondback moth populations were 10 times larger in deltamethrin plots, t han in Neem plots after treatment. The number of marketable cabbages from N eem-treated plots was 1.5 times greater than the number from deltamethrin-t reated plots. There was no apparent effect of either treatments on Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov) populations, the only parasitoid of the pest that was present in the area.
