Diamond back moth #872844

Asked June 12, 2024, 4:45 PM EDT

Hello there, I'm working on a project for school and would like to know:

How many acres of cole crops (vegetables) are in Michigan?

Are they affected by diamond back moth? 

What do growers use to treat it? 

Looking forward to hearing back from you. All the best, Natalia

Eaton County Michigan
