“…Tuta absoluta is multivoltine, and population parameters suggest that it is an r-selected species (Pereyra and Sánchez 2006). The duration of the developmental cycle greatly depends on environmental conditions, with average development time of 76.3 days at 14°C, 39.8 days at 19.7°C and 23.8 days at 27.1°C (Barrientos et al 1998).…”

“…On potato, T. absoluta only attacks aerial parts, thereby not directly impeding tuber development. Nevertheless, leaf feeding may indirectly lower potato yield and, under appropriate climatic conditions, T. absoluta could become a pest for the potato crop (Pereyra and Sánchez 2006). Since the time of its arrival in Europe, additional plant species have been reported as alternative hosts.…”

“…Tomato is thought to be the most suitable host plant for T. absoluta and has a better nutritional quality than potato (Pereyra and Sánchez 2006), and tomato cultivation could be a determining factor for T. absoluta establishment in Europe and Mediterranean Basin countries. Nine Mediterranean countries (i.e.…”

The tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a devastating pest of tomato originating from South America. After its initial detection in eastern Spain in 2006, it rapidly invaded various other European countries and spread throughout the Mediterranean basin. If no control measures are taken, then the pest can cause up to 80-100% yield losses in tomato crops in recently invaded areas and may pose a threat to both greenhouse and open-field tomato production. The exceptional speed and extent of T. absoluta invasion have called for studies documenting its biology and ecology, while indicating an urgent need for efficient and sustainable management methods. The development of approaches to manage T. absoluta would be facilitated through a detailed revision of information on this pest in its area of origin. This review combines information on the invasion by T. absoluta, its ecology, and potential management strategies, including data that may help the implementation of efficient biological control programs. These programs, together with a variety of other management tactics, may allow efficient integrated pest management of T. absoluta in Europe and Mediterranean Basin countries.

The study was carried out on weeds which were grown in cultural areas to determine the secondary hosts of tomato moth (Tuta absoluta Povolny) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) that the pest can feed, develop and reproduce during the absence of tomato in Konya, Turkey in 2013. Typical feeding damages of tomato moth, conspicuous mines and galleries between leaf epidermal layers which contained black larval frass, were observed on the leaves of Chenopodium album L. (Common lamb's quarters) (Chenopodiaceae). Laboratory examinations confirmed that they were the larvae of tomato moth. Some weeds have been reported as a host of T. absoluta but there has not been any study about C. album, hence this is the first record of C. album as a host of T. absoluta in the world.

“…Given the importance of the pest, many studies (Stol et al, 2009) have been conducted to relate its biology (Pereyra and Sanchez, 2006;Doğanlar and Yiğit, 2011;Torres et al, 2011;Öztemiz, 2012), ecology, management (Giustolin et al, 2001;Silva et al, 2011;Dağlı et al, 2012), effects of X-rays (Cagnotti et al, 2012), and reproduction as parthenogenesis (Megido et al, 2012). In some of these studies it is important to have knowledge of T. absoluta pupal characters.…”
