Cabbage Loopers Named for the unusual way it walks, the caterpillar propels itself forward by drawing its back legs toward its front legs, creating almost a circular loop, and then extending itself again. Cabbage loopers feed not only on cabbage, but also on a wide range of plants. Look for leaves with big, odd-shaped holes and heads of cabbage with pieces eaten out of the heads. | | | Symptoms of Cabbage Looper Damage Cabbage loopers feed not only on cabbage, but also on a wide range of plants. Since they chew holes in the leaves and often attack the heads of cabbage and other crucifers, look for leaves with big, odd-shaped holes and heads of cabbage with pieces eaten out of the heads. Results of Cabbage Looper Infestation Cabbage loopers can cause significant crop damage if left unchecked. They can damage the heads of cabbage and cause destruction of other crops such as spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, cotton and soybeans, to name a few. These crops become indedible and unmarketable if they have been infested by the cabbage looper, resulting in cash losses to farmers. Home gardeners are also affected by not being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Safer®Brand brings you a variety of effective insect control products that are gentler on the environment!
