Summary: This study conducted life-table analyses and found that the wild Solanum habrochaites (LA 1777) and some genotypes of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) exhibited high resistance to the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta, making them suitable for integrated pest management.

Summary: In this study, the effects of five wild tomato species on Tuta absoluta were investigated for the first time. Among these species, S. chilense was found to be the most suitable for the development of T. absoluta. S. corneliomulleri and S. neorickii showed higher effectiveness against T. absoluta and could be potential candidates for breeding resistant tomato genotypes.

Summary: Commercial tomatoes are complex hybrids with resistance genes from wild Solanum species. The response of tomato cultivars with resistance to root-knot nematodes (RKN) and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) to infection by Meloidogyne javanica was studied. Different combinations of resistance genes were tested, and the results showed that RKN-resistant plants effectively suppressed nematode infection and reproduction. However, the RKN + TYLCV plants were less effective in controlling nematode infection, and their resistance levels were reduced in the field. TYLCV-resistant plants also showed reduced nematode infection and reproduction.

Summary: Due to climate change, plant diseases and pests are spreading at a faster rate, with the tomato leaf miner being a major concern. Regular inspections throughout the tomato's life cycle are necessary to prevent losses caused by the tomato leaf miner. Research on deep neural network models for detecting the tomato leaf miner found that the segmentation model outperformed the classification model, providing higher precision, recall, and F1-score values.

Summary: The study found that populations of T. absoluta in the UK can reproduce parthenogenetically, with a small increase in parthenogenesis rate associated with the use of Isonet T. While this low rate of parthenogenetic reproduction is unlikely to result in mating disruption failure, changes in longevity and egg laying may allow T. absoluta to persist within the crop for longer periods. Regular monitoring of the reproductive capacity of UK populations and the careful use of mating disruption as part of IPM are recommended to prevent the emergence of resistance.

Summary: The study reveals that Tuta absoluta is a major pest affecting tomato production, and most farmers use synthetic pesticides for its management. There is a significant proportion of farmers willing to adopt the IPM strategy, and the probability of adoption is positively related to factors like gender, proximity to input sources, training access, and knowledge, attitude, and practices towards non-pesticide strategies.

Summary: The study found variable levels of resistance in different field populations of T. absoluta against commonly used insecticides such as flubendiamide, cyantraniliprole, and indoxacarb. Biochemical assays showed a significant increase in cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and esterase levels in relatively resistant populations, indicating their role in resistance development. The reduced susceptibility of T. absoluta to various field collected populations suggests a need for judicious use of chemicals for its management.

Summary: This study confirmed the presence of the South American tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta, in multiple fields and locations in Myanmar. Shan State is the largest tomato production area in the country, where tomatoes are grown using two cultivation methods. Without immediate management practices to reduce the presence of this invasive pest, potential and severe economic damage may be expected. Coordination among ASEAN member states to monitor and develop strategies against T. absoluta is crucial.

Summary: The South American tomato moth is a significant pest of tomatoes in India, and chemical control has been the main method for its management. However, outbreaks of the moth have been observed in major tomato-growing regions despite regular insecticidal sprays. A study was conducted to understand the development of insecticide resistance in the moth, and it was found that different populations showed increasing levels of resistance and changes in biochemical enzymes and gene expression. This study provides important insights into insecticide resistance in the South American tomato moth and stresses the need for wise insecticide use and integrated pest management strategies.

Summary: This study analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by different potato cultivars with varying resistance to late blight disease. The results showed that cultivars with higher resistance had higher emissions of VOCs, particularly sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes. The VOC profiles could be used as an indicator to identify potato cultivars resistant to late blight disease.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the integration of host plant resistance and biological control for sustainable management of Tuta absoluta on tomatoes in greenhouse conditions. The results showed that combining resistant tomato varieties with the release of parasitoids significantly reduced damage on leaves and fruits, as well as decreased the need for insecticide applications that can have negative impacts on human health and the environment.

Summary: The results of the trials showed that the IPM package was quite effective in reducing Tuta absoluta infestation. Compared to the Farmers' practice of chemical applications, the IPM package performed equally well without compromising the yield. The protection cost of the IPM package was nearly two times lower than that of excessive chemical pesticide spraying in the Farmers' practice.

Summary: The study aimed to characterize resistant and susceptible tomato cultivars to Tuta absoluta in Egypt based on biochemical and molecular levels, revealing significant variations in biochemical constituents and enzyme isoenzymes between the resistant and susceptible cultivars. The correlation between biochemical components and pest damage showed negative relationships for total phenols and peroxidases, while positive relationships were observed for total proteins, reducing sugars, and lycopene contents. Additionally, molecular diagnosis using RAPD-PCR indicated polymorphism in the resistant cultivar compared to the susceptible one, highlighting the potential for using resistant cultivars in integrated pest management programs.

Summary: The study revealed significant effects of temperature on the biological efficiency and development rate of parasitoid wasps, with the optimum temperature range being 12 to 30 degrees Celsius. Female individuals emerged more than males under all temperature regimes, with a decrease in development rate observed at two higher temperatures (32 and 35 degrees Celsius).

Summary: The study compared the removal of herbicide paraquat from an aqueous solution using bentonite modified by silica, with the silica-modified bentonite showing higher efficiency and faster adsorption kinetics. Various models were used to analyze the adsorption behavior, with Langmuir isotherm showing the best fit for the experimental data. The results indicated that the adsorption of paraquat onto the synthesized bentonite-silica composite was an exothermic and spontaneous process.
