- Intervention effect Trap cropping reduced DBM abundance by 46% in the first head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping reduced ICW abundance by 73% in the first head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping reduced DBM leaf damage by 45% in the first head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping reduced ICW leaf damage by 33% in the first head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect DBM populations were reduced by 19% in the second head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect ICW was reduced by 65% in the second head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping had no effect on leaf damage in the second head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping suppressed DBM abundance by 50% in the first kale trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping suppressed DBM leaf damage by 19% in the first kale trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping had no significant effect on ICW in the first kale trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping reduced ICW leaf damage by 13% in the second kale trial.
- Intervention effect Adding EPN foliar sprays further reduced DBM populations in plots with trap crops in the first head cabbage trial.
- Intervention effect EPNs suppressed DBM populations entirely in the second kale trial.
- Intervention effect EPNs had no effects in the second head cabbage trial or the first kale trial.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping with kai choi did not consistently improve the efficacy of EPN foliar sprays.
- Association EPNs were most successful at suppressing DBM and ICW populations when average pest pressure was below 0.5/plant.
- Association Trap crops worked more effectively at insect populations above 0.5/plant.
- Intervention effect Trap cropping lowered the weight of head cabbage and kale when planted 30 cm or closer to kai choi.
- Intervention effect Leaving a 60 cm distance between cash and trap crops resolved the loss of weight.
