Invasion by South American Tomato Moth, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) Into India and R & D For Its Local Management: A Review
Keywords:
Tuta absoluta Invasive pest, management R&D, IndiaAbstract
South American tomato moth, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Gelechiidae: Lepidoptera), a serious pest of tomato (Solarium lycopersicum) in tropics and subtropics. It was first reported fi-om India during 2014 and spread to all the major tomato regions in the country. Its occurrence and research developments for its management fi-om India both for open and polyhouse conditions has been discussed in this paper. Various IPM tactics used like biological control, use of light and pheromone traps, initiatives for host plant resistance studies, use of insecticides etc. is reviewed in this paper.
