NC State University developed a series of documents that discuss a variety of common insects and related pests of tomatoes. They address the name, physical description, and biology of the pests, as well as recommendations for controlling populations and plant damage.
Nematode Management in Tomatoes, Peppers, and Eggplant This comprehensive guide introduces plant-parasitic nematodes and discusses crop production problems, symptoms and control measures associated with nematodes. This resource was developed by the University of Florida and sometimes uses Florida-based data and examples. The lessons and concepts explored, however, can be applied to growers in North Carolina and the Southeast.Also, see the Control of Root-Knot Nematodes in the Home Vegetable Garden.
Greenhouse Insect Management The warm, humid conditions and abundant food in a greenhouse provide an excellent, stable environment for pest development. Often, the natural enemies that serve to keep pests under control outside are not present in the greenhouse.
- Greenhouse Whitefly
- Hornworms
- Tomato Cutworms
- Tomato Fruitworms
- Tomato Pinworms
- Silverleaf Whitefly
- Vegetable Leafminer
