(Brassicaceae) is protected using repeated high doses of synthetic insecticides. After a brief description of available IPM components, this paper presents a literature review focused on the botanical extracts that have been experimented with at the laboratory or in the field in West Africa against major cabbage pests. The literature reviewed mentions 19 plant species from 12 families used for cabbage protection in the subregion. The species most used are Azadirachta indica, Capsicum frutescens, Ocimum gratissimum and Ricinus communis. An overview of the world literature showed that a total of 13 plant species belonging to 8 families used to control cabbage pests are reported from the rest of Africa, and 140 plant species belonging to 43 families from the rest of the world. The most commonly used and tested plant species against insect pests in the three geographical areas considered is A. indica. specialized Plutella xylostella Hellula undalis Lipaphis erysimi Brevicoryne brassicae Lipaphis pseudobrassicae pesticidal plants AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST 076 102 10 3 529 [36 p.] 2021 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081170 10.3390/plants10030529 [F B010081170] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081170 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2021-05/010081170.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-05-17 2025-02-24 fdi:010081170 fre
