Whether nutrient availability interacts with induced resistance to alter plant chemistry and, consequently, the preference and performance of herbivores on plants remains unclear. We hypothesized that changing fertilizer inputs modulates responses by exogenous application defensive phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) against Tuta absoluta, a devastating pest tomatoes. found tomato grown at or 2-fold above optimal rates had higher content were more preferred T. absoluta females for oviposition better hosts their offspring. MeJA increased phenolic volatile emissions in plants, which correlated lower offspring performance. However, we no significant interactions when applied simultaneously, such tomatoes similar regardless rate. These results provide novel insights into bottom-up effects fertilization plant-insect herbivore interactions.

Abstract Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a major polyphagous pest with the potential to seriously damage various crops. A better understanding of FAW's performance on different hosts may help predict which plants will be attacked when preferred host absent, and facilitate development effective management practices. We compared larval FAW fed maize that potato tobacco, are important crops in China, using an age‐stage two‐sex life table adult female oviposition preference experiments. In cage experiments potato, or as host, reared exhibited strongest shorter developmental time stage, longer longevity, higher reproductive rate adults. Females oviposited tobacco. Compared larvae maize, those tobacco significantly lower survival, only 31.61% 8.13% developing respectively. Several parameters, including mean generation ( T ), net R 0 finite increase λ intrinsic natural r ) were negatively affected Our results support preference–performance hypothesis, is, herbivore females maximize fitness by choosing associated strong performance. Although adults performed poorly their offspring capable establishing populations them, posing threat these China.

Abstract BACKGROUND In 2017 Tuta absoluta was identified as an invasive species in China. Due to its rapid geographic expansion and the severe crop damage it causes, T. poses a serious threat China's tomato production industry. To determine distribution host range, intensive surveys routine monitoring were conducted across Chinese mainland between 2018 2019. The population colonization coefficient (PCC; ratio of colonized sites prefectures) occurrence index (POI; infested PCCs) calculated. RESULTS northwestern China, populations established Xinjiang exhibited medium PCC value (~0.03). southwestern Yunnan five neighboring provinces high (~0.50 Guizhou), or low (<0.02 Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Chongqing) values. mainland, infestations four plant (tomato, eggplant, potato, lantern) two wild (black nightshade Dutch eggplant) identified; tomatoes every province. lantern eggplant are potentially novel hosts. Yunnan, Guizhou, experienced most (POI). observed significantly decreased with increased distance from first discovery site farthest county province increased. CONCLUSION well‐established could spread other regions present study helps inform establishment better pest management guidelines strategies China tomato‐producing worldwide. © 2021 Society Chemical Industry.

Tomato is more prone to Tuta absoluta invasion and damages as compared other host plants but the mechanism behind this preference has not been elucidated. Here, two contrasting plants, tomato eggplant, were used investigate biochemical transcriptomic modifications induced by T. infestation. Biochemical analysis at 0–72 h post infestation revealed significantly reduced concentrations of amino acid, fructose, sucrose, jasmonic salicylic total phenols in mainly 48 Transcriptome showed higher transcript changes infested eggplant than tomato. Signaling genes had significant contributions mediate plant immunity against absoluta, specifically associated with acid eggplant. Genes from PR1b1, NPR1, NPR3, MAPKs, ANP1 families play important roles mitigate Our results will facilitate development control strategies for sustainable production.

The tomato leaf miner (TLM), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is an invasive pest found worldwide. Sustainable control strategies aimed at increasing biological approaches and decreasing chemical inputs are required, due to the tendency develop insecticide resistance. In this study, lethal sublethal effects of four insecticides (abamectin, indoxacarb, chlorantraniliprole, spinosad) entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) on a widespread TLM egg parasitoid, Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, were estimated. Concentration mortality response bioassays enabled estimation concentrations tested for parasitoids, with chlorantraniliprole having lowest LC50 indoxacarb highest. LC25 sprayed eggs then offered three time intervals parasitoids. fertility other life table parameters individuals emerging from treated All insecticides, but not fungus, had harmful T. brassicae. applications caused 3.84-5.17 times reduction in net reproductive rate (R0) compared control.

Its global invasive was not identified until after rapid Europe, followed by Africa parts Asia where it has become major food security problem on solanaceous crops.

Abstract Tomato cultivation is threatened by the infestation of nocturnal invasive tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta . This study was based on field observations that a wild plant, Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme , grown in Mount Kenya region, Kenya, less attacked T. absoluta, unlike cultivated plants like S.
