Abstract
Improved flavor and shelf life are the driving force for the increased demand for greenhouse-grown tomatoes. Greenhouse tomatoes are harvested and marketed over a 30-week period. The major insect and mite pests (whitefly, serpentine leaf miner, red spider mite, tobacco caterpillar, thrips, fruit borer) and diseases (early blight, late blight, gray mold, leaf mold, powdery mildew, leaf spot, root rots, bacterial canker, soft rots, pith necrosis, bacterial speck, bacterial spot, tobacco mosaic virus, tomato mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus, tomato yellow leaf curl virus, tomato spotted wilt virus) and root-knot nematodes and their symptoms, biology, spread, survival, and management are discussed.
