Author Details

Tomato has extremely important health benefits which make it an important crop all around the world. Among several insect pests of tomato, Phthorimaea absoluta is the most devastating pest. This insect-pest has become one of the leading pests of tomato plants in recent years. The yield losses are often in the range of 80-100%. Larval stages of Phthorimaea absoluta are by far the most destructive stage of the insect because of its feeding habits. The neonate larvae feed on tomato fruits, leaves, flower buds and young shoots. Several chemical insecticides are used against this pest but resistance development to insecticides was reported. There is need of integrated pest management to control the pest population. This review discusses about the harmful effect of chemical pesticides and alternative methods to control Phthorimaea absoluta population. Different methods of pest control include botanical control, biological control and new emerging techniques of green synthesized nanoparticles.

Abstract

Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) known as greasy cutworm is an important destructive polyphagous pest of many crops distributed throughout the world. Larvae are polyphagous with a wide and diverse host range, as a result of which they cause extensive damage to a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops, mainly at the seedling stage. Insecticide resistance has grown as a result of the widespread and arbitrary use of pesticides, and pesticide residues have accumulated in food. There is a growing need for new pest management strategies to limit the threat to humans, the environment, and non-target organisms as a result of these pests. This review encompasses the use of biorational compounds for the management of this pest. It could offer a broad perspective to direct the search for novel pesticidal tactics against A. ipsilon that are focused on environmental sustainability.
