Abstract

The tomato leafminer (Scrobipalpuloides absoluta), a common pest of tomato plant, is distributed in many regions in Brazil. In order to determine the efficiency of Chlorfluazuron to control the tomato leafminer, a field experiment was carried out in Goiânia, Goiás state, Brazil. The treatment and dosage in grams of active ingredient per hectare were: Chlorfluazuron 50 EC (25,35.5,50 and 75); Abamectin 18 EC (18); Cartap 500 BR (480) and an untreated check. The results of the experiment showed that Chlorfluazuron at dosages of 37.5, 50 and 75 g i.a./ha was efficient in controlling the tomato leafminer. It was similar to the results of abamectin and cartap at the dosages utilized.
