Look for caterpillars. You can hand pick if not too many. If infested you can use biological control or pesticide, but most aren’t selective meaning they will kill both good and bad bugs.

I use neem oil spray on my kale and it seems to work!

Something I do is plant other plants near it to naturally repel bugs and pests. Idk if it’s the best way but it seems to work for me
