| Nombre latino | Tuta absoluta |
| Nombre común | Tomato leafminer |
| Biología | Adults are nocturnal with daytime hiding, exhibiting strong flight ability and capable of long-distance dispersal. Larvae penetrate into tomato leaves, tender stems, and fruits to feed, creating curved tunnels. Infested leaves wither, and infested fruits rot, severely affecting tomato yield and quality. Highly fecund, this pest completes multiple generations annually under favorable conditions. |
| Daño | This pest primarily damages tomatoes but also affects eggplants, peppers, and other Solanaceae plants. |
| Regiones de distribución | Mediterranean region and South America |
| Monitoreo | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
| Trampas recomendadas | Delta Trap, Wing Trap |
