Abstract
The tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta is one of the most destructive pests of tomato plant Solanum lycopersicum L worldwide. Synthetic chemical insecticides are mainly used to manage T. absoluta. However, their excessive use has led to serious problems concerning human health, non-target organisms and environnement. Biological control, using bacteria, entomopathogenic fungi, animals and plants remain an eco-friendly alternative for controlling the tomato leaf miner. Here we review the use of biological management of T. absoluta with special reference to control using plant extracts.
