Several pests and animals consume cabbage, causing damage to the plants.
These include:
- Cutworms
- Imported cabbageworm
- Cabbage looper
- Diamondback moth larvae
- Cross-striped cabbage worm
These pests, particularly in their larval stages, can inflict significant damage to cabbage crops. Young transplants are especially vulnerable. They feed on leaves, causing substantial defoliation, which weakens the plant and reduces yield.
