Insect and Mite Pests of Greenhouse Grown Tomatoes

Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, is a vegetable grown outdoors under field conditions and in greenhouses. Managing insect and mite pests in a greenhouse environment is challenging. Tomatoes are susceptible to insects and mites that feed on leaves, fruits, and/or flowers, causing damage that can lead to a reduction in yield. Read our new publication Insect and Mite Pests of Greenhouse Grown Tomatoes available in the K-State Research and Extension bookstore. This publication provides information on the major insect and mite pests and strategies to manage their populations on greenhouse grown tomatoes.
