Abstract
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), the tomato leaf miner, is one of the most devastating pests affecting tomato crops in Italy. Management of T. absoluta was assessed in open-field tests using three biorational insecticides, Azadirachtin, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, and Beauveria bassiana, and a combination of three synthetic insecticides, Emamectin, Indoxacarb and Metaflumizone, as a control treatment. Our results showed that only the combination of Azadirachtin � B. thuringiensis was able to reduce the impact of tomato leaf miner on the fruit�s marketable production similarly to the control treatment. This finding suggests that biorational insecticides are a good alternative to synthetic ones. Possible use of biorational insecticides in the management of tomato leaf miner in organic farming system is discussed.
