Tomato fruit borer, also known as Helicoverpa armigera, is a major pest problem of tomato cultivation in India and other parts of the world. It originated from Africa and spread to other continents through trade and migration. It is a polyphagous insect that can feed on over 360 plant species, including many crops of economic importance. The larval stage of this pest causes direct damage to tomato plants by boring circular holes on the fruits and eating the internal content. This makes the fruits unmarketable and reduces the yield and quality of the crop.
