Abstract:
The present investigation“Incidence of major insect pest infesting tomato in low and mid hills of Himachal Pradesh”was conducted during 2019 and 2020. During the surveys, whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum), aphids (Myzus persicaeand Macrosiphum euphorbiae), serpentine leaf miner (Liriomyzia trifolii), and fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) were recorded during both years. The aphid species M. persicae was recorded in low hills, whereas, M. euphorbiae was found to infest tomato in mid hills. Higher pest infestations were recorded on tomato in mid hills as compared to low hills of Himachal Pradesh.
