Abstract

Tuta absoluta is the most abundant pest of vegetable species from the Solanaceae family, which has been member of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) entomofauna since 2010. It is widespread in the protected production spaces of the Mediterranean and continental areas of B&H, and has become a serious problem in tomato protection. According to the many studies frequent use of older generation insecticides has led to increased resistance of Tuta absoluta. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the effectiveness of the newer insectides generation such as: Chlorantraniliprole, Methoxyfenozide and Emamectin benzoate in suppressing the tomato leaf miner population collected from the southern area of B&H. Insecticides were applied in different concentrations to three tomato hybrids (Matias F1, Belle F1, Rally F1) under controlled conditions. Test was performed according to the modified „leaf-deep method“ (IRAC). The concentrations of applied insecticides had different effectiveness against Tuta absoluta. Insecticides based on active substances: Chlorantraniliprole, Methoxyfenozide and Emamectin benzoate, which were applied in two different concentrations, had no significant effect on reducing the resistance of Tuta absoluta.
