Abstract

In the present study, antibiosis resistance of five greenhouse cultivars of tomato (‘Cindel’, ‘Santella’, ‘Infinity’, ‘Dafnis’ and ‘Goldy’) to tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta, were investigated in the laboratory. The experiments followed a complete randomized design using 100 same-aged eggs on each cultivar. Data analyzing was performed using Age-Stage Two Sex Life Table theory. The results showed that the highest (27.11 ± 0.31 days) and lowest (23.44 ± 0.16 days) duration of total immature stages were recorded on ‘Santella’ and ‘Infinity’, respectively. The highest mortality of immature stages (29.17 ± 4.64 %) was recorded on ‘Cindel’. Population growth parameters of T. absoluta were significantly affected by different tomato cultivars. The lowest (37.731 ± 7.489 offspring/individual) and the highest (74.521 ± 10.386 offspring/individual) net reproductive rate (R0) were recorded on ‘Dafnis’ and ‘Infinity’, respectively. The highest estimated intrinsic rate of increase (r) was recorded on ‘Infinity’ (0.147 ± 0.005 day-1). According to results obtained, ‘Goldy’ and ‘Infinity’ had the highest and lowest antibiosis resistance to T. absoluta, respectively. Our finding could be useful in integrated management programs of this gelechiid pest on tomato in the greenhouse.
