The Tomato Crop

Part of the book series: The Tomato Crop ((WOCS))

Abstract

Worldwide, more than a hundred different pest species have been recorded on tomato crops (Hussey, Read and Hesling, 1969: Schmutterer, 1969: Lange and Bronson, 1981; Talekar et al., 1983). At any one time and place, however, only a few species are major pests of economic importance (Table 10.1). All pest fauna are to some extent dynamic and change continually both as crop production practices develop and behaviour of the pest species changes. This is particularly true for the tomato crop as it is a young and rapidly developing agricultural system.
