Life table parameters of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on four wild tomato species

Abstract

Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is an important tomato pest that also feeds on other plants in the Solanaceae. The effects of four wild tomato species (Solanum arcanum Peralta, Solanum habrochaites S.Knapp & D.M.Spooner, Solanum peruvianum L., Solanum pimpinellifolium L.) and two accession of Solanum lycopersicum L. (LA0292 and cv. 112-432) on the life table parameters of T. absoluta were determined. Larval development time, lifespan, pupal period, fecundity, and longevity were also estimated. The study was conducted in Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Agriculture Faculty, Plant Protection Department, Isparta, Türkiye in 2020-2021. Solanum lycopersicum was the most suitable species for the development of T. absoluta. Among the wild tomato species, S. pimpinellifolium for intrinsic rate of increase, S. arcanum, and S. pimpinellifolium for net reproductive rate, S. habrochaites and S. pimpinellifolium for mean generation time and doubling time, S. pimpinellifolium and S. arcanum for finite rate of increase were higher than the others. Although the results showed significant differences between the tested wild tomato species, S. pimpinellifolium and S. arcanum were the most effective wild hosts.
