Tuta absoluta is a highly damaging pest on tomato plants that affect their food production. It is also known as the South American tomato pinworm and tomato leafminer. In this growing concern regarding its infestation, it is necessary to identify the most effective measures to tackle this issue and improve crop production.
The pest causes the leaves to become abnormal in shape and get puncture marks on their surfaces. Appearances of blotch-shaped mines are also common. The infested fruits will get holes on their surfaces, causing loss and rejection in the market. In severe infestations, the overall yield will also be reduced.
