Abstract
The aim of the present work is to suggest an integrated
pest management programme (s) for tomato crop in the newly reclaimed land based on certain ecological and agricultural concerns. Survey of insect pests attacking foucultivars of tomato plants was made. The key pests were found to be the cotton and tomato whitefly, the cotton aphids, onion thrips, and leaf110ppers. Coccinella undecimpunctata was found to be the most abundant predator in tomato fields during the present study. The highest population densities of these insect pests were found on Pritchard cultivar which seemed to be the most susceptible cultivar for insect pest infestation, followed by Colombia, and Ace. On the other hand, Castle Rock cultivar proved to be the least susceptible for infestation with these insect pests, i.e., the lowest population was recorded on this cultivar.
The following experiments were conducted on B. tabaci
was found to be the key pests for tomato crop in the field.
This insect pest to reduce its population: tomato cultivars, fertilization regimes, water Field capacity and irrigation duration, plant extracts and neem preparations. Such experiments were carried out to minimize the infestation with this insect pest and, therefore, to obtain the highest yield of the tomato crops.
