For diamond back moth and tobacco caterpillar management in cabbagewe selected seven treatments of newer insecticides viz., PII 8007 20 % SC, Tolfenpyrad 15% EC, Cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD and Emamectin benzoate 5% SG and one control and from which four treatments were of PII 8007 20 % SC with four different dosages viz., 15, 20, 25 and 50 a.i./ha. The total two numbers of sprays were done when diamond back moth and tobacco caterpillar were severe on cabbage to be cause economic damage. For control of diamond back moth and tobacco caterpillar PII 8007 20% SC at the dosages of 50 a.i./ha was found most effective insecticides among selected seven insecticides along with control followed by Tolfenpyrad 15% EC. The remaining insecticides was found in following order, Cyantraniliprole10.26 OD > PII 8007 20% SC @ 25 a.i./ha > Emamectin benzoate 5% SG > PII 8007 20% SC @ 15 a.i/ha > PII 8007 20% SC @ 20 a.i./ha. This kind of research will be helpful in better way cabbage lepidopteran pest management specially diamond back moth and tobacco caterpillar.
