Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important Solanaceous and remunerative vegetable crops. However, despite its value in fresh and processing markets, many farmers are concerned about pest resistance. Therefore, looking to the seriousness of pest menace particularly leaf curl and fruit borer, research is needed to reduce the chemical pressure and establish an ecological equilibrium in tomato fields. A combination of bio-intensive pest management (BIPM) and chemo-intensive pest management (CIPM) were followed trap crop marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) and yellow sticky traps to manage these pests during 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The percent plant infestation with leaf curl (0.6-0.9) and fruit infestation with fruit borer (5.2-6.7) were observed in BIPM and CIPM. In these fields, the application of insecticides increased yields 30-38.3%. There was 47.1-56.8% higher net return in BIPM and 59.5-68.9% higher in CIPM than farmers' practices. Similarly, benefit cost ratio was analyzed 2.5:3.6 in BIPM and 2.5:3.7 in CIPM.

“…is a destructive pest of tomato crop in Pakistan causing significant yield losses that worth 5 billion US$ annually [ 4 ]. The pest starts damaging leaves in the early growth stages and flowers are affected at later stage where the pest bores into the fruits, reducing their market value and making the fruits unfit for human consumption [ 5 ].…”

Helicoverpa armigera (Hub.) is a destructive pest of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) crop in Pakistan. Although insecticides are the primary management strategy used to control H. armigera, most of them are not effective due to considerable toxic residual effects on the fruits. Nonetheless, H. armigera is rapidly evolving resistance against the available pesticides for its management. This situation calls upon the need of alternative management options against the pest. Different plant extracts have been suggested as a viable, environment-friendly option for plant protection with minimal side effects. Furthermore, the plant extracts could also manage the insect species evolving resistance against pesticides. This study evaluated the efficacy of different plant extracts (i.e., Neem seed, turmeric, garlic and marsh pepper) against H. armigera. Furthermore, the impact of the plant extracts on growth and yield of tomato crop was also tested under field conditions. The results revealed that all plant extracts resulted in higher mortality of H. armigera compared to control. Similarly, the highest plant height was observed for the plants treated with the plant extracts compared to untreated plants. Moreover, the highest tomato yield was observed in plants treated with plant extracts, especially with neem seed (21.013 kg/plot) followed by pepper extract (19.25 kg/plot), and garlic extract 18.4 kg/plot) compared to the untreated plants (8.9 kg/plot). It is concluded that plant extracts can be used as eco-friendly approaches for improving tomato yield and resistance management of H. armigera.

“…Similar results regarding yield have also been reported by Rasheed et al (2019) who stated that plots treated with chemical pesticides gives highest yield (9450 kg/ha) as compared to control (5607 kg/ha). Our results are further in line with the work of Hussain and Bilal (2007) who reported a yield of 28000 kg/ ha from plots treated with imidacloprid. Results regarding the yield on cypermethrin treated plot are also in line with Singh et al (2015) who reported that yield of 25.72 t/ha was recorded from cypermethrin treated plots.…”

“…The farmers use different management techniques for managing the fruit borer infestation in tomato crop (Ravi et al, 2008) but growers prefer to use chemicals against this pest (Hussain and Bilal, 2007). Chemi-cals are the prime method of control fruit borer infestation in tomato crop in Pakistan because it is easily available with high return ratio and minimum effort in application (Rasheed et al, 2019).…”

T omato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is self-pollinated, cosmopolitan crop mainly grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world (Tahir et al., 2012;Kumar et al., 2017). Tomato is a rich source of minerals, vitamins, sugars, essential amino acids, vitamin A, B, C, iron and phosphorus, it also contains Lycopene which is an antioxidant used to decrease the risk neurodegenerative diseases (Mahla et al., 2017).
