Book Description
The tomato fruitworm (Heliothis zea (Boddie) is the most serious pest of tomatoes in the United States, particularly in the southern half of the country where it does some damage every season. This insect is also injurious to beans, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, tobacco, and other cultivated crops, and is one of the most, if not the most, destructive pest to agricultural crops in the country. Interest in improvement of methods for the control of this insect on tomatoes was accelerated in 1935 by the finding of worm fragments in canned products, which were subsequently seized and destroyed as contaminated foods by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Studies on the seasonal history and control of the tomato fruitworm on tomatoes were conducted in southern California, Utah, and Ohio beginning in 1936. This bulletin reports some of the major findings. Most of the data are from the California experiments; results from Utah and Ohio are so indicated.

Book Description
Sustainable Management of Arthropod Pests of Tomato provides insight into the proper and appropriate application of pesticides and the integration of alternative pest management methods. The basis of good crop management decisions is a better understanding of the crop ecosystem, including the pests, their natural enemies, and the crop itself. This book provides a global overview of the biology and management of key arthropod pests of tomatoes, including arthropod-vectored diseases. It includes information that places tomatoes in terms of global food production and food security, with each pest chapter including the predators and parasitoids that have specifically been found to have the greatest impact on reducing that particular pest. In-depth coverage of the development of resistance in tomato plants and the biotic and abiotic elicitors of resistance and detailed information about the sustainable management of tomato pests is also presented. - Provides basic biological and management information for arthropod pests of tomato from a global perspective, encompassing all production types (field, protected, organic) - Includes chapters on integrated management of tomato pests and specific aspects of tomato pest management, including within protected structures and in organic production - Presents management systems that have been tested in the real-world by the authors of each chapter - Fully illustrated throughout with line drawings and color plates that illustrate key pest and beneficial arthropods associated with tomato production around the world
