“…The larval reduction was observed only in S6 i.e. Fenvalerate 20EC @ 188 ml/ha (Table 2) which is well supported by the findings of Mishra (1984); Setiawati (1990) and Walgenbach and Estes (1992). Nimbecidine 300 ppm+ Novaluron 10EC @ 188 ml/ha (both in S1 and S2) reduced larval population 10 days after application as second management practice/spray but reduction was still highest (18.10%) in S6 when crop was sprayed with Malathion 50 EC @1.0 l/ha (Table 3).…”

“…In recent years, many studies have included the economic analysis of pesticide applications for tomato growing in Turkey (Akgungor et al 1999;Tanrivermis 2000;Koc et al 2001;Karsavuran and Cetin 2002;Demirci et al 2005;Engindeniz 2006;Hayirlioglu 2007). Similarly, many studies have included the economic analysis of pesticide applications for tomato growing in different countries of the world (Trumble et al 1992;Walgenbach and Estes 1992;Clark et al 1998;Taylor et al 2001;Nault and Speese 2002;Yardım and Edwards 2003;Alimi and Ayanwale 2004;Hosamani 2009). Nonetheless, there is still need for study, especially at the farm-level.…”

In many circumstances, pesticides are the only effective means of controlling disease organisms, weeds, or insect pests. Yet, pesticides are toxic and potentially hazardous to humans, other animals and organisms, and the environment. Therefore, people who use pesticides or regularly come in contact with them must understand the relative toxicity, potential health effects, and preventative measures to reduce the exposure to the products they use. Today, farm-level costs include the costs of the pesticides, and their application. This study was conducted to analyse the farm-level economics of pesticide use on the processing and table tomato growing in selected regions of Turkey. Data was collected from 59 processing tomato farmers and 30 table tomato farmers. These farmers were willing to have their data recorded. According to the results of the study, the average usage concerning the active ingredient of pesticides for the processing and table tomatoes were 4,825.02 and 5,273.86 g/ha. Average pesticide and pesticide application costs of the processing and table tomatoes were determined to be $445/ha and $502/ha, respectively. The breakeven yields for the processing and table tomatoes were calculated to be 3,708 and 3,138 kg/ha, repectively.

“…It is also an important insect pest for sorghum in the USA (Knutson and Cronholm, 2007). H. zea was identified as the most important insect pest in fresh tomatoes in North Carolina causing losses in profits of $ 3,385 and $ 941 per ha in 1988 and 1989 (Walgenbach and Estes, 1992). It is also an important pest species in soybeans (Swenson et al, 2013) and was observed as the second most important soybean insect pest in Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas (Musser et al, 2011).…”

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (American cotton bollworm, corn earworm) for the EU. H. zea is a polyphagous species that feeds on over 100 plant species. The crops most frequently recorded as host plants are maize, sorghum, cotton, beans, peas, chickpeas, tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and, to a lesser extent, clover, okra, cabbages, lettuces, strawberries, tobacco, sunflowers, cucurbits and ornamentals. H. zea preferentially feeds on flowers and fruits of the host. Eggs are laid mostly on maize silks. Larvae feed on the silks and kernels. Pupation takes place in the soil. Hibernation and estivation as pupa are reported. Adults are nocturnal. H. zea is a strong flier, able to fly up to 400 km during migration. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 (Annex IIA) regulates H. zea. Fruits and plants for planting, with and without soil, provide potential pathways for entry into the EU. Climatic conditions and the availability of host plants provide conditions to support establishment in the EU. The introduction of H. zea could have an economic impact in the EU through qualitative and quantitative effects on agricultural production (e.g. tomatoes, soybean, sweet corn). Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry. H. zea satisfies the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest. H. zea does not meet the criteria of (a) occurring in the EU, and (b) plants for planting being the principal means of spread for it to satisfy the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union regulated non‐quarantine pest.
