Prevalent meteorological conditions, which vary greatly from region to region, have a big impact on how frequently diamondback moths appear. To assess the effect of meteorological circumstances on the diamondback moth's population demographics and its seasonal prevalence in cabbage crops. Plutella xylostella L. infestation levels on brassica crops, particularly cabbage, vary depending on the presence of natural predators, the location, and the varieties of plants. The diamondback moth (DBM) is one of the most insect pests that seriously harm the production of cabbage. Changing climate, the high development of plant species (vegetable and oilseed Brassica crops), and the pest's genetic adaptability, which allows it to flourish quick and easily in new environments, acquire tolerance to nearly all known herbicides, have all contributed to a rise in the incidence and consequence of P. xylostella outbreaks in recent times. P. xylostella has a wide variety of crucifer hosts, and numerous pesticides are employed to suppress it.
