    “Plutella xylostella is the canonical crucifer pest globally; Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) is a primary host with high impact well-documented.”

  • entomologist · plausible

    “Diamondback moth larvae are obligate Brassicaceae herbivores causing severe leaf damage on Chinese cabbage; high impact and herbivory direction correct.”
