ABSTRACT
Pressure to reduce dependence on chemicals to protect crops from pests combined with increased regulation of pesticide registration has necessitated the development of biological methods for agricultural pest management. It is particularly important to employ integrated pest management (IPM) programs in high-value cropping systems such as tomato, where reduced efficacy of chemicals and increased regulations have reduced pest control options. This chapter will provide a review of plant disease management tactics for tomato, which are not reliant on synthetic chemicals, as well as information on specific biological control strategies or agents when available.
