Efficacy of Native Entomopathogenic Nematodes on the Larvae of Tomato Leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of native entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs);

Estimation insecticidal action of Abamectin and Neem oil against Tuta absoluta insect (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae)

“…It was lowest at the concentration1% reached 24.92% after 24 hours of treatment and began to increase with increasing concentration until it was highest at concentration 10% reached 68.55% during the same time period. While, The results are listed in a Table (2) showed the larva mortality at the abamectin concentration of 0.06 was 23% after 24 hours of treatment, then it began to increase with increasing concentration until it reached 67.50% at the abamectin concentration of 0.50 for the same period of time. The results shown in Table (1,2) also showed that larva mortality at a neem oil concentration 1% was 41% After 72 hours of treatment and began to increase with increasing concentration until it reached 90% at a neem oil concentration 10% for the same period of time, while the larva mortality at a abamectin concentration 0.06 was 50% after 72 hours of treatment, it began to increase with increasing concentration until it reached 94.50 at a abamectin concentration 0.50% for the same period of time.…”

“…Tuta absoluta is considered one of invasive and dangerous pest of tomato crops in field and greenhouses due to speed of its spread and reproduction (1,2,3,4,5). young larva it grows through leaves, stems, tips, flowers, and immature fruits, producing obvious mines and galleries.…”

Türkiye ve Kırgızistan’dan elde edilen entomopatojen nematodların fasulye tohum böceği [Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)]’ne karşı etkinliklerinin araştırılması

“…Bu çalışmalar, tek doz denemelerinde olduğu gibi yapılmış fakat 3 farklı doz (25, 50 ve 100 IJs böcek -1 ) denenmiştir. Denemeler 10, 15 ve 20°C olmak üzere 3 farklı sıcaklıkta Kepenekci et al 2015;Tülek et al 2015;Kepenekci et al 2016;Kepenekci 2016;Gözel et al 2020) 5 tekerrürlü ve 2 tekrarlı olarak yürütülmüştür. Denemeler söz konusu olan sıcaklıklardaki inkübatörlerde yürütülmüştür.…”

A review on biology and possible management strategies of tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae in Nepal

“…Tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum L.) appear to be the major host of T. absoluta among a variety of Solanaceous species. Tomato production is hampered by a number of biotic and abiotic constraints [ 4 ] and T. absoluta is the major biotic constraint in the production of tomato both in green house and open field condition [ 5 ]. According to Desneux et al [ 6 ], T. absoluta has spread and increased its range mostly through agricultural trade of tomato fruits.…”
