Abstract
The cabbage looper causes economic losses to growers of a large variety of vegetable and field crops in California. The damage results principally from the caterpillars feeding on foliage. Studies of the biology of the cabbage looper, which are summarized in this article, are one segment of an intensive program underway to understand this pest and to develop better control methods.
