Understanding the Target Pest: Tuta absoluta

Tuta absoluta: What is it, and how do you get rid of it? | CABI BPP

Tuta absoluta is a highly destructive insect pest that affects:

  • Tomato 
  • Cherry tomato 
  • Potato 
  • Other crops in the Solanaceae family (like brinjal) 

Damage Caused:

  • Larvae mine inside leaves, creating tunnels 
  • Damage stems and fruits 
  • Reduce yield and crop quality drastically 

Life Cycle Stages:

  • Egg 
  • Larva (3 stages) 
  • Pupa 
  • Adult moth 

Controlling the pest at the adult stage is crucial to break its life cycle—this is where pheromone lures are highly effective.

  • Active Component: Tuta fly attractant (pheromone) 
  • Purity: 99% pure pheromone 
  • Dispenser: Silicon rubber septa 
  • Packaging: Anti-smell release pouch for long shelf life
