Keiferia lycopersicellaTomato Pinworm The tomato pinworm is a small, micro lepidopteran moth that is often confused with closely relatedspecies, which have similar habits. Plants of the nightshade family, Solanaceae, are the preferred hosts of pinworms. Tomato, is infested most commonly, but eggplant, and potatoes, also are attacked. Damage to tomatoes results from the feeding of larvae on leaves, stems and fruit. Initial injury is slightand appears as a small leaf mine. Later injury includes leaf folding and leaf tying. Mature larvae mayabandon the leaf and bore into the fruit leaving a small pin size hole. Secondary damage results whenplant tissues become infected by pathogens and the plant dies or the fruit rots. Approximately 60 to 80percent of tomato fruits may become infested in a single season. Use Pheromone Traps from 15 days crop stage @ 10 12 Nos per acre to control pest at early stage. Works for a minimum period of 30-45 days in field conditions temperature ranging 35-42 C.
