The life table statistics of diamondback moth on the transgenic Chinese cabbage (line: SKCP) with myrosinase gene was compared with that on the non transgenic Chinese cabbage (line: SC) at 25±1℃. Adult life span and number of progeny of P. xylostella on the SC and SKCP lines were similar to each other. The sex ratio, developmental period, intrinsic rate of increase and finite rate of increase of P. xylostella on SC and SKCP were not significantly different in both treatments (sex rati t=-1.60; df=220; P=0.1108, developmental period: t=-0.55; df=220; P=0.5803, intrinsic rate of increase: t=-0.11; df=45; P=0.9172). However, the finite rate of increase and net reproduction were significantly different in between SC and SKCP lines (finite rate of increase: t=2.26; df=45; P=0.0287, net reproduction: t=2.08; df=45; P=0.0442).

The effects of the transgenic Chinese cabbage (SKCP19 line) with myrosinase gene and Chinese cabbage (SC19 line) without gene introduction on the insect community were evaluated. Sampling was conducted using yellow sticky traps and wing pheromone traps in Anseong and Deokso fields, respectively. The total number of individuals caught by sticky trap was not shown significant differences between transgenic Chinese cabbage and non transgenic Chinese cabbage at Anseong and Deokso fields, respectively (t=0.72; df=46; P>0.05, t=0.38; df=38; P>0.05). Also, There were no significant differences in density of Plutella xylostella population caught by pheromone traps on transgenic and non transgenic cabbage at both fields (t=0.59; df=22; P>0.05, t=0.52; df=18; P>0.05).
