Evaluation of management modules against pest of Tomato

Five modules were tested for the management of pest of tomato during rabi season of 2014–15, 2015–16 and 2016–17. The module number (M₅) which consisted of erection of yellow sticky traps (1–2 traps @ 50–100 m²) + foliar spray of Imidacloprid 200 SL @ 0.5 ml/l at 20 and 30 days after transplanting + spray (mixture of Malathion 50 EC @ 2 ml/l and 10 g jaggery in one liter of water at flowering) + spray Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 0.5 ml/lit at 15 days interval at the initiation of flowering. From the three years pooled data, it is observed that module number (M₅) was found most effective in which the minimum number live mines of leaf miner and least survival population of white flies with lowest % fruit damage (8.6%) on number basis and (7.4%) on weight basis and this module also recorded maximum marketable fruit yield of tomato (446.88 q/ha).
