Integrated management of tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta via bottom-up and top-down effects
The tomato leaf miner,Tuta absoluta,native to the South America,is an invasive and de-structive pest with strong invasiveness.Since its first presence in Kazak Autonomous Prefecture of Ili,the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2017,it has now been recorded in nearly 20 provinces in China,including Yunnan,Guizhou and Sichuan.This pest is currently threatening tomato and other sola-naceous crops,and the research on the integrated pest management(IPM)and the practical management in fields are urgently needed.In this review,the soil nitrogen,arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,crop resis-tance,crop and non-crop diversity,and arthropod natural enemies that could confer management of T.absoluta were summarized based on bottom-up and top-down effects in soil-plant-insect pest-natural en-emy multitrophic interactions.The outlook for IPM of T.absoluta was discussed.
