Abstract
Tomato is one of the most important vegetable
crops of India. They are also a very popular garden plant among home owners.
Tomato production whether for commercial or personal use is not always an easy
task. The pest and diseases are biotic constraints of tomato production. The
plant can be damaged at all stages of growth, leading to reduced or poor
quality yields. However the major losses are caused by fruit borer (Helicoverpa
armigera) and tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera letura), Serpentine
leaf miner (Liriomyza tri follii), White fly (Bemesia tabaci) and
Aphids insect pest as the also act as vector for transmitting viral disease.
Besides these various diseases caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses
illustrated in this study were the major causative agents of the less yield of
tomato and failure of the crops. During the fruiting stage tomato plants enter
the crucial period of growth and development and are susceptible to various
diseases and pest attacks that can hinder the health and productivity of tomato
crops. This paper describes some of the important insect pests and diseases of
tomato and their control in the locality of Rewa (M.P.)
