Abstract

Several of the insect pests and diseases that cause havoc on their productivity affect Tomatoes. The most common insect pest affecting tomato yields is tomato leaf minor (TLM), also described as Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), while Fusarium oxysporum, Early blight, and Late blight are among the most widespread diseases systematically destroying tomato yields in many tomato-growing major countries. The rapid spread of Tuta absolutes over a wide area could be caused by a variety of factors, such as its high biotic potential and a variety of host plants. On the upper portion of immature leaves, attack symptoms such as minor vein clearing could be seen, whereas older leaves might develop epinasty. Use of Entomopathogens, Cultural Control Methods, Chemical Control, and integrated Pest Management Strategies are among the methods used to manage Tuta absoluta. The use of hostile microorganisms is another disease management technique that can be used to provide an environmentally friendly Fusarium disease control system. The most long-term solution is to implement an integrated system that includes cultural practices, fungicide spraying, and the adoption of broad-spectrum genetic resistance cultivars. Because single management practices may not be effective in the control of pests, Integrated Pest Management is the best strategy to control these diseases and insect pests.
