Abstract. In growing four tomato varieties in greenhouses, the effect of a conventional and integrated scheme for control of tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta Meyrick, 1917) was studied. Six consecutive treatments were performed at ten-day intervals. The conventional scheme includes the following products: Confidor Energy OD 0.08%, Ampligo 150 ZC 400 ml/ha, Coragen 20 SC 200 ml/ha, Exalt 25 SC 2400 ml/ha, Voliam Targo 063 SC 800 ml/ha and Voliam Targo 063 SC 800 ml/ha. In the integrated scheme the following products for plant protection are used – Confidor Energy OD 0.08%, Sineis 480 SC 250 ml/ha, Sineis 480 SC 250 ml/ha, Voliam Targo 063 SC 800 ml/ha, Neem Azal T/S 0.3% and Neem Azal T/S 0.3%. The effectiveness of the plant protection products against the tomato leaf miner, the degree of pest attack of the different varieties and the tomato productivity were studied in this experiment. It was established that in the conventional and in the integrated treatment scheme, the highest efficiency was shown by the product Voliam Targo 063 SC, applied in a dose of 800 ml/ha on the seventh day after spraying. The percentage of damaged plants was the lowest in the variety Clarosa F1 (4.00%), with the application of the conventional plant protection scheme. The results were similar in the integrated scheme – 6.00%, while in the control the degree of infestation reached 18.00%. The percentage of damaged fruits in both treatment schemes was 6.00%, significantly lower than in the control (24.00%). The highest tomato productivity was observed with the application of the conventional plant protection scheme in Manusa F1 variety.

Abstract Background In this study, commercial bioinsecticides including entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Verticillium lecanii, and Spinetoram active ingredient insecticide were evaluated against the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) larvae. Main body The active ingredients were prepared at the recommended concentrations under laboratory conditions and applied to the 2nd instar larvae of T. absoluta by spraying with a hand sprayer. On the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days of the application, evaluations were made by counting survived individuals. The findings showed that the highest mortality rates were detected in the case of Spinetoram with 56, 60, 88, and 100% on all counting days of the experiments, respectively. The highest mortality rate among bioinsecticides was recorded for M. anisopliae, with 87% mortality on the 7th day of application. Short conclusion As a result, Spinetoram was found the most effective insecticide when applied to T. absoluta, followed by M. anisopliae.

Seasonal activity and population fluctuation of tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), a dangerous pest of tomato fields in Tehran province, were determined in Varamin region, south of Tehran province in 2015-2016. Number of moths in pheromone trap and number of larvae per plant were counted weekly in a trail tomato field. The trap capture began on mid-April in warm dry spring of 2015 and on mid-May in cool wet spring of 2016. The first and highest moth peaks in trap occurred about one month earlier in 2015 than 2016. The larval density per plant at the highest peak reached 2.34 and 10.8 in 2015 and 2016, respectively. A temperature range of 25-30°C was desirable to the pest in which the interval of successive peaks decreased. In both years, the pest created three generations over a growing season, according to larval peaks, but 11 over a year, according to trap data, that the 11th generation overwintered. The temperature of 35°C and above limited larval activity and decreased the population. After the crop removed, the pest population declined due to host shortage, but it increased with the access of hosts in the second cultivation since mid-September until the cold season.

AbstractThe tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a major threat to tomato production in Rwanda. Laboratory bioassays were conducted to evaluate some commercial entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) formulations on T. absoluta larvae. The larvae, inside the leaf galleries, were obtained from the established tomato field. Commercial EPF: Metatech® WP [Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorok, Strain FCM Ar 23B3], Beauvitech® WP [Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill., Strain J25], and Botanigard ES [B. bassiana (Bals.), Strain GHA] were tested in Petri dishes against T. absoluta larvae at a concentration of 108 spores/ml. A synthetic insecticide, imidacloprid was included for comparison as a positive control, while water was used as a negative control. All the tested commercial EPF formulations were pathogenic to T. absoluta larvae in all conducted bioassays. Mortality rates increased with an increase in time (days). However, the insignificant difference was observed in the mortality of T. absoluta larvae treated with the commercial EPF during the first 3 days in all bioassays. Highly significant differences (p < 0.01) in pathogenicity among treatments were observed from the 4th to 6th days after inoculation. Metatech® WP and Beauvitech® WP recorded the highest mortality rates (82.8 and 60.8%) with the LT50 values of 3.9 and 5.2 days, respectively, while imidacloprid caused the least larval mortality. Since the EPF demonstrated high virulence level against the target pest, the efficacy of Metatech® WP and Beauvitech® WP should be advanced to field evaluation to determine their potential as alternatives to the synthetic insecticides.
