      <abstract><![CDATA[<p>This study evaluated multiple applications of spinosad 
        at three application rates, emamectin benzoate, <I>Beauveria bassiana</I>, 
        azadirachtin and different <I>Bacillus thuringiensis</I> delta endotoxins 
        for controlling diamondback moth populations, <I>Plutella xylostella</I> 
        (L.), on three commercial collard (<I>Brassica oleracea</I> var. <I>acephala</I> 
        de Condolle) farms in South Carolina. Spinosad<SUP> </SUP>and emamectin 
        benzoate were the most efficacious at consistently providing excellent 
        control of diamondback moth populations. Azadirachtin, <I>B. bassiana</I> 
        and <I>B. thuringiensis</I> delta endotoxins may be useful early in collard 
        growth to control low populations of diamondback moth, but were not consistently 
        effective at maintaining diamondback moth populations below the economic 
        threshold in the later stages of field trials, especially when diamondback 
        moth larvae averaged more than three per plant.</p>]]></abstract>
