The imported cabbageworm, a fuzzy green caterpillar that transforms to the familiar white cabbage butterfly, may be the most frequent visitor to members of the cruciferous vegetable family.

Few pests will bother the roots of horseradish, but there are several that will feed on the leaves, including: aphids, beet leafhopper, diamondback moth, flea beetles, and imported crucifer weevil. The aphids can be washed off.

The loopers feed on leaves for two to four weeks before spinning cocoons and pupating. Ten days to two weeks later a new generation of moths emerges. In North Carolina, there are five to six generations per year, mostly on crucifers.
