Pests of the Tomato
Tomatoes are attacked by a large number of insect pests from the time plants first emerge in the seedbed until harvest. Aphids, flea beetles, and leafminers threaten young transplant-bed tomatoes. In the field, flea beetles, aphids, leafminers, stink bugs, and tomato fruitworms cause minimal damage to the foliage; however, severe damage may result either from their feeding on the fruit or by their spreading of diseases.
