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.

Pesticides and Farmworker Health Toolkit
This toolkit is an educational resource to teach pesticide safety to Spanish-speaking agricultural workers with limited formal education. The toolkit was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for federal Worker Protection Standard worker training requirements. Toolkits are available in Spanish and English for a variety of crops, including tomatoes.
