The article presents the results of assessing the effectiveness of the biochemical preparations Proclaim, VRG, Spintor, SK, BioKill, CE against Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) and Pieris rapae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in white cabbage plantings. It has been established that bioinsecticides based on amamectin benzoate, abamectin, and spinosad provide a high protective effect against pest caterpillars. The drugs, with a single use, reduced the number of cabbage moths by 60–97%, and the turnip moth by 74.5–100%. The effect of drugs on the effectiveness of Trichogramma ussuricum Sorokina (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) against Pieris rapae was determined. The biological effectiveness of Trichogramma in variants using a drug based on amamectin benzoate was 47.7–50.0%, in spinosad – 21.0–33.3%, in the control – 42.0%. The toxic effect of the drug based on abamectin on Trichogramma has been established. No parasite-infected eggs were observed on plants treated with the drug. The use of Trichogramma ussuricum and bioinsecticides is an effective and environmentally friendly method in protecting cabbage from pests.
