Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)

These microscopic arachnids pierce the cell walls of cabbage leaves to suck out nutrients, leaving behind fine silk webbing and stippling. In Brassica crops, they thrive in hot, dry conditions which accelerate their lifecycle.

Very Common

How to confirm: Hold a white piece of paper underneath a leaf and tap it to see if tiny crawling specks fall off.

1 Apply an organic miticide/insecticide spray to the plant to eliminate the spider mite population and destroy eggs.
2 Increase humidity and reduce heat around the cabbage by misting the leaves or using a humidifier, as spider mites thrive in dry conditions.
3 Check the soil moisture levels regularly to ensure the plant is not under drought stress, which can exacerbate mite infestations.

Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)

While known for webbing, thrips primarily cause silvery scarring on cabbage leaves; however, their movement and excrement can sometimes be accompanied by fine silk-like strands in dense foliage.

Common

How to confirm: Inspect the underside of the inner leaves for very small, slender, yellowish insects moving rapidly.

1 Apply an organic insecticide to eliminate the thrips population and disrupt their life cycle.
2 Deploy yellow sticky traps near the cabbage foliage to capture adult thrips and monitor the infestation level.
3 Inspect the undersides of leaves and remove any heavily infested or damaged foliage to prevent further spread.
warning

Cabbage Webworm (Hellula rogatoria)

The larvae of these moths feed on the leaves of Brassica species, often creating silk-lined tunnels or webbed clusters to protect themselves while feeding on the leaf tissue.

Common

How to confirm: Gently pull apart the webbing to check for small green caterpillars hidden within the leaf folds.

1 Apply an organic insecticide to eliminate the larvae and disrupt the life cycle of the webworm.
2 Manually remove any visible webbing, silk-lined tunnels, or large larvae from the cabbage leaves to prevent further feeding damage.
3 Inspect the undersides of leaves regularly and use a fine mesh net or row cover to physically prevent moths from laying eggs on your Brassica crops.
