Advances in Biological Control of Tuta absoluta(Meyrick)Based on Predatory Natural Enemy Resources
Tuta absoluta(Meyrick)is a major invasive alien species worldwide,which mainly damages tomato crops by mining leaves and fruits.Since its invasion in Yili,Xinjiang in 2017,it has spread to many provinces(municipalities and autonomous regions)in China,with outbreaks in some places,seriously threatening the healthy production of China's tomato industry.At present,biological control based on predatory natural enemies is one of the main measures for integrated management of T.absoluta.So far,few review papers have been published on the predatory natural enemy resources of tomato leaf miner.Therefore,this paper systematically sorted out the species of predatory natural enemies of T.absoluta worldwide,summarized the predatory ability of predatory natural enemies of tomato leaf miner,the life parameters of predatory natural enemies of T.absoluta,and the effects of chemical pesticides on the prevention and control of T.absoluta by predatory natural enemies.The existing problems and development direction of T.absoluta control by predatory natural enemies were analyzed in order to provide reference for the biological control of T.absoluta in China.
