Abstract

Experiments for determination of the effectiveness in different treatment schemes against tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta Meyrick) were conducted in tomato variety Velosity grown in greenhouses at the "Maritsa" Vegetable Crops Research Institute -Plovdiv during the period 2018-2019. The following products are included in the experiment: Voliam Targo 063 SC 80 ml/da (a.i. abamectin + chlorantraniliprole); Confidor Energy OD 0,08% (a.i. imidacloprid + deltamethrin); Ampligo 150 ZC 40 ml/dka (a.i. lambda-cyhalothrin + chlorantraniliprole); Coragen 20 SC 20 ml/da (a.i. chlorantraniliprole); Neem Azal T/C 0.3% (a.s. azadirachtin); Sineis 480 SC 25 ml/da (a.i. spinosad). The results of conventional and integrated production are very close and they are significantly different compared to the control. The use of pheromone traps included in the integrated scheme shows that they can be applied not for monitoring only but also for reducing the of adult density in the cultivation of the greenhouse tomato. It was reported a weaker attack by the pest in the treatments with the applied plant protection schemes, and the production that was obtained has been well protected.
