Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important vegetable of a
balanced diet and a good source of several nutrients. A variety of insect
pests, such as whiteflies, jassids, serpentine leaf miners, and aphids, which
infest at various stages of crop growth, have a significant impact on the
quality and quantity of tomato fruit. To combat insect pest the usage of
insecticides has increased many fold now-a-days. In some areas farmers have been
also using bio-control agents in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for the
safety of environment and human health. Numerous researchers have reported the
potential use of various microbes and plants extracts in pest management. This
strategy is the most effective for controlling pests since the diseases prevent
pests both temporarily and permanently while causing the least disturbance
of the natural equilibrium of the environment.
