“…Host range is constrained by the behavioral and physiological traits of the insect [ 7 ]. Since 2006, many researchers had paid attention to the biological performance and oviposition performance of T. absoluta on different plants (different solanum plants or different tomato cultivars) across the world, such as in South America [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], Europe [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], Asia [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], and Africa [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The general result was that tomato is the most preferred host plant for T. absoluta oviposition and is suitable for larval development [ 4 ].…”

Tomato is the most preferred host plant for Tuta absoluta, a newly emerged devastating invasive pest in China. However, no study has evaluated the damage risk of T. absoluta on processed tomato worldwide. In the current study, the life table parameters of T. absoluta were systematically investigated on five tomato cultivars (one fresh tomato cultivar, four processed tomato cultivars) to determine their susceptibility to T. absoluta infestation. T. absoluta had a better population growth ability on the fresh tomato, “Dafen”, showing shorter duration of the preadult stage, higher lifetime fecundity, and a higher intrinsic rate of increase compared to four processed tomato cultivars. Meanwhile, the life table parameters of T. absoluta among different processed tomato cultivars also showed significant differences. Th9 was the most susceptible to T. absoluta attack, while Th1902, Heinz1015, and Dimen2272 were the least suitable ones for its development and reproduction. In summary, these tomato cultivars are the most recommended for commercial tomato production to reduce the damage caused by T. absoluta and improve the integrated pest management strategy.
