Tuta absoluta on TomatoesDamage to the leaves
Damage to the fruit
• Serious damage occurs throughout the entire
growing period (protected and open-field crops)
Without intervention can cause 80-90% crop loss!
• Very challenging pest to keep under control
effectiveness of chemical control is limited due to
nature of damage
• It is known to rapidly develop resistant strains against
insecticides – in Spain total resistance to Chlorantraniliprole
• Tuta prefers tomato, but also aubergine, beans, tobacco and potato
• Pheromone use has been beneficial but is now less effective
(Parthogenicity)

Trichogramma lays
an egg in the egg of
the pest.
Larva hatches and
consumes the content
of the pest egg.The larva
grows.
It produces a
blackish cocoon,
metamorphosing
into a nymph.
An adult then
emerges, which
goes out to find
other eggs.
How does it work in the field? It’s biological cycle

Trichogramma achaeae: Why do we need your help
![Page 12: TUTA: A problem in UK Tomatoes Dr Caroline Reid TGA ... · • Tuta prefers tomato, but also aubergine, beans, tobacco and potato • Pheromone use has been beneficial but is now](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070923/5fbb6bf0c19e4224197a6815/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Trichogramma achaeae
• Not currently registered for release in the UK
• To get DEFRA to register the product we need help from growers to
stress the importance of the pest and getting a control for it.
• We are asking the TGA and tomato growers to lobby Defra to this end.
