Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluation
effect of infested tomato plants Solanum lycopersicum (Fam. Solanaceae)
by Tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
on the annual production of tomato fruits under plastic greenhouses.
Experiments were conducted on three varieties of tomato (Floraded, Preged and
Mader) at two areas (governorates) Perkash zone (Giza Governorate) and Tokh
zone (Qaliobya Governorate) during season 2022 under plastic greenhouses. Results
obtained showed that the average of the infestation by the successive insect T.
absoluta in both of the two successive areas in tomato varieties were
arranged ascending as follow; Floraded, Preged and Mader respectively compared
to control (tomato plants did not infest with T. absoluta) whereas
tomato variety (Mader) was higher infested by T. absoluta than other
varieties, then (Preged) variety then (Floraded) variety respectively at both
of the two successive areas. While vice versa in terms of quantity of the
annual production of tomato fruits, whereas quantity of the annual production
of tomato fruits was arranged descending as follow; Floraded, Preged and Mader
respectively compared to control, whereas quantity of the annual production of
tomato fruits in Floraded variety was greater than other varieties, then Preged
variety then Mader variety respectively in both of the two successive areas.
