The cabbage (Brassica oleracea) pest controlling effect of Furcrea sp. extracts was evaluated a the 'La Florida' forestal nursery of the Corporación Autónoma del Cauca. Four treatmens were applied (control, extract solutions at 30, 20 and 10 v/v %. Plant vigour, height, pest and disease damage data were collected during a six weeks period. The extract applications were made once during the first three weeks, and the three following applications were twice a week. Results were analyzed by an ANOVA (p < 0,05) and a Tuckey test, using SPSS15. The analysis reveals that the 30 v/v % Furcraea solution applied twice a week resulted as the best pest control method minimizing damage by Pieris sp., Plutella xylostella, Brevicoryne brassicae and Myzus persicae.
