Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycoperdicum L.) is the most popular vegetable crop in Bangladesh as well as in the world. Huge amount of Tomato fruits became lost due to attack of insect pest. The yield of tomato decrease due to increase of infestation. Experiments were conducted at the Entomology laboratory and field laboratory under the Department of Entomology in Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during Rabi season (01 October, 2018 to 15 March, 2019) in order to evaluate the bio-efficacy of some bio-pesticides for controlling tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta. The experiment was laid out in complete randomized design (CRD) with five (05) replications and randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three (03) replications in laboratory and field condition, respectively. Tomato var. BARI tomato-09 (Lalima) variety was used as experimental crop. Five (05) bio-pesticides viz. Neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Bishkathali leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Lemon extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Garlic clove extract @ 2.0ml/L and Mahagany seed extract @ 2.0 ml/L were used as treatments. From the result, it clearly revealed that, among five (05) bio-pesticides, neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L is the best followed by garlic clove extract, lemon extract, bishkathali leaf extract and mahagany seed extract for controlling tomato leaf miner in both laboratory and field condition i.e. neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L can act as an effective bio-pesticides control agent against tomato leaf miner while yield and yield attributes were also higher. On the other hand, based on the tomato yield and percentage of tomato fruit infestation, the present study showed that positive co-relation (significant correlation) existed between percent infestation of test fruit and yield loss of tomato. It could be recommended that further trail of this work in different doses and the effect of toxicity on human, soil and environment is needed for researcher and farmers.
