Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The tomato leaf miner causes significant losses to tomato production in both field and greenhouse conditions.
- Observation None of the biocontrol agents tested against the tomato leaf miner are currently registered or available for use in Ethiopia.
- Recommendation Integrated management of tomato leaf miners is essential to alleviate damage, slow insecticide resistance and reduce the negative impacts of synthetic insecticides.
- Recommendation Further research is needed to screen botanical and indigenous biocontrol agents and to investigate combined management strategies for tomato leaf miners in Ethiopia.
