The impact of different plant extracts on population suppression of Helicoverpa armigera Hub. and tomato Lycopersicon esculentum Mill yield under field conditions
Original language description
Helicoverpa armigera Hub. is a destructive pest of the tomato Lycopersicon esculentum Mill crop in Pakistan. Although insecticides are the primary management strategy used to control H. armigera, most of them are not effective due to considerable toxic residual effects on the fruits. Nonetheless, H. armigera is rapidly evolving resistance against the available pesticides for its management. This situation calls upon the need of alternative management options against the pest. Different plant extracts have been suggested as a viable, environmentfriendly option for plant protection with minimal side effects. Furthermore, the plant extracts could also manage the insect species evolving resistance against pesticides. This study evaluated the efficacy of different plant extracts i.e., Neem seed, turmeric, garlic and marsh pepper against H. armigera. Furthermore, the impact of the plant extracts on growth and yield of tomato crop was also tested under field conditions. The results revealed that all plant extracts resulted in higher mortality of H. armigera compared to control. Similarly, the highest plant height was observed for the plants treated with the plant extracts compared to untreated plants. Moreover, the highest tomato yield was observed in plants treated with plant extracts, especially with neem seed 21,013 kg per plot followed by pepper extract 19,25 kg per plot, and garlic extract 18,4 kg per plot compared to the untreated plants 8,9 kg per plot. It is concluded that plant extracts can be used as ecofriendly approaches for improving tomato yield and resistance management of H. armigera.
