First record of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in Burkina Faso

[en] During a survey on plant protection practices conductedin March 2016, several tomato leafminers were captured in vegetable crops at Goinré site (Ouahigouya) in the northern region of Burkina Faso. Adult specimens were identified as Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) based on male genitalia. This is the first record of this important tomato pest in Burkina Faso. Thanks to favourable climatic conditions encountered in Burkina Faso, it is likely that this pest will spread rapidly in the territory. Moreover, it is now known for its insecticide resistance and ability to develop on alternative host plants.We expect producers to perform additional chemical treatments, leading to increasing risks, including operator exposure to pesticides, environmental pollution and residues on vegetables. The presence ofT. absoluta in Burkina Faso may also have economic impacts associated with export of tomato fruit to neighbouring countries.
