- Abstract
Tomato moth, Tuta absoluta, is presently an important pest on processing tomato crop in the Ribatejo region. This species was detected in 2010 In this crop and caused significant losses in 2011. The goal of this project is to develop decision-making tools to improve crop protection. During 2013, monitoring of the adults with sexual pheromone traps and the incidence on sampled plants, according to the crop phonologic stage was carried out weekly. Samples of entomological material were analysed in the laboratory to detect parasitism. In addition to this technical monitoring in the field, risk factors have been identified in order to build risk maps for decision-making support. This work was developed by "Protomate" - Desenvolvimento de uma nova ferramenta de apoio à gestão da cultura do tomate para garantia da qualidade do produto final" with financial support of the Proder program that aims to contribute to the accomplishment of the central goals involving European commitments. This network allows a constant sharing of knowledge, experience, and results in a timely manner. It is organised by COTHN, ESAS/IPS, ISA/UL, UE, FNOP and Agromais. Additionally, 15 growers' groups with 18 technicians, Sugalidal and Italagro, representing the processing industry, and the company Lusosem.
