Tomatoes are an important vegetable in our daily diet. Very tasty can give our body the nutrients it needs. Growing this tomato plant in our home garden can cause a lot of pest infestation and damage to our tomato plant. In this article, we will look at the worms and pests that attack tomatoes and how to control them.


Right plants Right Place

There are two types of tomatoes. One type is determinate and grows to a certain general height and then stops. The second type is indeterminate and has no such limit. So you can choose the short grow tomato variety. This is because the tomato plant is easily susceptible to pests if it remains in the same place so the plant can be transplanted alternately.

Tomato fruit worm



We would have grown the tomato plant with difficulty. When the pods grow large and ripen, they can easily attack the tomato and break the hole. It affects not only the tomato plant but also vegetables such as soybeans, peppers, tobacco, beans, okra, and eggplant. The fruitworm will be moth light yelloyish color. and all wings have dark spot. The moths lay their eggs under the moth leaves and the worms eat the tomatoes. This fruitworm is about one inch long. If the tomato plant has two or three, the fruit will be emptied.


Check the leaves daily for eggs. Remove the leaf if any. Predators for tomato fruitworms include minute pirate bugs, bigeyed bugs, the parasite trichogramma and Hyposoter exiguae wasps. Sprinkle ginger garlic solution once in 10 days

Some Tips tomato pest control


Surrounding your tomato plants with marigolds seems to work well for me. Additionally, make sure you don’t plant them near any plants that tend to attract too many bugs to begin with - such as nasturtiums. Aphids tend to flock to nasturtiums and in my experience, fly right over to whatever is nearby once their preferred plant is dead.


The tomato plant should be planted at close range without planting too close.


Trap crops can be planted around the tomato crop


You can put both the yellow and blue driving card


Take care of the tomato plant daily and if there are eggs, remove them.


Weeds should be completely removed


Bacillus thuringiensis should be sprayed once in 10 days
