e0“The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta, is one of the most destructive pests of tomato worldwide”
e1“In the greenhouse trials on tomato, pest infestation (mines/10 leaves/plant) and fruits damaged were significantly lower on plants treated with Azadirachtin + B . thuringiensis or Azadirachtin + B . bassiana compared to plants treated with Azadirachtin , B. thuringiensi, B. bassiana or S. feltiae alone”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Azadirachtin (3 g/L) on tomato leaf discs caused 70%-86% mortality of second instar Tuta absoluta larvae.
- Intervention effect B. thuringiensis (0.5 g/L) on tomato leaf discs caused 55%-65% mortality of second instar Tuta absoluta larvae.
- Intervention effect B. bassiana (1.5 g/L) on tomato leaf discs caused 45.5%-58.5% mortality of second instar Tuta absoluta larvae.
- Intervention effect Steinernema feltiae (1,000 IJs/ml) was the least effective biopesticide against Tuta absoluta larvae, with 26%-42% mortality.
- Intervention effect In greenhouse tomato, pest infestation and fruits damaged were significantly lower with Azadirachtin + B. bassiana than with the single products.
- Intervention effect Azadirachtin + B. thuringiensis gave a 90% reduction in damaged fruits in the summer greenhouse experiments.
- Intervention effect Azadirachtin + B. bassiana gave an 81% reduction in damaged fruits in the summer greenhouse experiments.
- Intervention effect Azadirachtin + B. thuringiensis gave a 96% reduction in damaged fruits in the winter greenhouse experiments.
- Intervention effect Azadirachtin + B. bassiana gave a 91% reduction in damaged fruits in the winter greenhouse experiments.
- Intervention effect The most severe pest infestation occurred on tomato plants treated with S. feltiae.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the biopesticides except S. feltiae can contribute to T. absoluta control in greenhouse tomato crops.
