Abstract：
Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a globally
destructive, invasive pest of Solanaceae crops that poses a severe threat to
China's tomato industry and ecological security since 2017. Taking an
integrated pest management perspective, this article systematically reviews the
current status of research on four key strategies for the control of T.
absoluta in China; ecological regulation techniques, physicochemical
trapping and control techniques, biological control techniques, and chemical
control techniques. Future directions for technological innovation in pest
control are discussed with the aim of providing a reference for optimizing
integrated pest management strategies.
