Abstract
This study delves into the intricate realms of Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), commonly known as the cabbage aphid, shedding light on its biology, diversity, distribution, and characterization within cabbage ecosystems. Through a comprehensive examination of these facets, we aim to unravel key insights into the life cycle, morphological variations, and geographical presence of B. brassicae, offering a nuanced understanding of its ecological significance. Utilizing a combination of field surveys, laboratory experiments, and molecular analyses, we assess the diversity of B. brassicae populations and their potential impact on cabbage crops. The study provides valuable information for pest management strategies and contributes to the broader understanding of insect-plant interactions in agricultural ecosystems.
