EPPO Study on pest risks associated with the import of tomato fruit

Abstract: Tomato fruit are currently imported from different parts of the world to the EPPO region, and tomato is an important crop throughout the EPPO region both as an outdoor and indoor crop. The risk that tomato fruit may act as a pathway of introduction of new pests was identified after the introduction of Tuta absoluta in the EPPO region in 2006. A study was launched in 2013, to produce a list of pests associated with the pathway of fruit of Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). The objectives, process and first outcomes… Show more

“…The paucity of knowledge about species diversity, identity, and distributions in the Pyraloidea (and many other insect groups) are due to lack of surveys and expertise (e.g., Solis and Pogue 1999). A major consequence is incomplete distributions, even for well-known pest species such as L. integra (e.g., Hayden et al 2013, EPPO 2015. The collecting is still hit and miss or fortuitous, as it was over a hundred years ago when the type specimen of L. undulata was "taken flying at sunset in a weedy field" (Walsingham 1913).…”

“…Larvae have been encountered feeding on a broad array of Solanaceae, domesticated and wild (e.g., Dyar 1901), exotic, introduced species in the United States (Goeden 1971, Diaz et al 2012, and economically important commodities such as potatoes and tomatoes, such as Solanum spp., Physalis spp., and Capsicum spp. (Compton 1937, Allyson 1984, Passoa 1985, Solis 1999, Robinson et al 2010, Hayden et al 2013, EPPO 2015. The most commonly encountered species throughout the Western Hemisphere is Lineodes integra Zeller (Figs.…”

“…This species was also cited as a tomato plant host from Maracaibo, Venezuela (Morales-Valles et al 2003), and there exists reports of this species in imported ripe tomato fruit throughout the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) region. Nonetheless, as it is not likely to be transported in tomatoes it is classified non dangerous (Grousset et al 2015). In a study on scarab beetles abundance of a tropical dry forest in Colombia, García-Atencia et al (2015) found that L. quadridens was the most abundant species (1,667 individuals), characterized as an important pest of semestral crops in the Colombian Caribbean.…”

“…The methodology followed for the preparation of alert lists of pests for individual fruit species was originally based on the methodology used for the EPPO tomato study (EPPO, 2015;Grousset et al, 2015) and further developed in EPPO (2016). The process was adjusted during the course of the project, taking into account the experience gained.…”
