Tomatoes

The pests affecting tomato crops will vary between Northern European and Mediterranean climate zones. Control techniques will also vary depending on crop conditions and climate, as some beneficial species which work well in Northern European climates do not work well in Mediterranean zones.

Cultivar also has a significant impact on pest problems and beneficial use. Cherry tomato varieties are particularly susceptible to some pests, and can also be damaged by Macrolophus spp (Macroline).

Note that beneficial mites or insects may require licences or permits for use in some countries and, therefore, some of the species listed below may not be available.
