1 icipe Tuta absoluta activities in North and sub-saharan Africa: An overview Samira Mohamed and Sunday Ekesi Tuta absoluta: Meeting the challenge of the tomato leafminer Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, November 26 th 28 th, 2013
2 Tuta absoluta Africa s No.1 enemy on tomato Loss of domestic and export markets Loss of employment and income Food insecurity Poverty/malnutrition Long term effects Tomato yield and quality seriously hampered by Tuta absoluta infestation Immediate effect Lack of appropriate management strategy Existing management options are inefficient Heavy infestations by Tuta absoluta on tomato Misuse/over use of insecticides, resistance of T. absoluta to traditional insecticides Destruction of natural enemies of other tomato pests, and contamination of the tomato fruits North African countries where T. absoluta has invaded, established and is wide spread Countries in SSA that at high risk of invasions by T. absoluta Causes Lack of coevolved efficient natural enemies Lack of knowledge of bioecology & management Aggressive nature and high reproductive capacity Reported resistance of this pest to synthetic insecticides Poor quarantine infrastructure & phytosanitary management Trans-boundary agricultural trade Tuta absoluta
3 Tuta absoluta infested egg plant field Ensaf S.I. Mohamed
4 PROJECT GOAL/PURPOSE Goal To enhance food and nutritional security, income generation capability and the overall livelihood of small and medium scale tomato growers in the target countries. Purpose To develop and implement in collaboration with international and national partners, a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for reduction of tomato losses due to T. absoluta infestation leading to increased quality and yield of table and industrial tomatoes for domestic and export markets.
5 Project Work packages Bioecology of T. absoluta and associated natural enemies established. Explorations for and introduction of natural enemies of T. absoluta undertaken. New technologies/ already existing management tools identified, tested and implemented. Surveillance for the pest in selected high risk countries initiated and sustained. Capacity building of NARS in the project target countries initiated and implemented.
6 WP 1: Bioecology of T. absoluta and associated natural enemies established Work package 1 activities Distribution, abundance, dynamics, and host plants relationships of T. absoluta and its indigenous natural enemies. Ecological niche and phenological models to predict potential African and global distribution of T. absoluta. Molecular studies to infer evolutionary aspects underlying T. absoluta invasion and development of new markers to aid identification.
7 WP 2: Explorations for and introduction of natural enemies of T. absoluta undertaken. Work package 2 activities Sampling for natural enemies of T. absoluta, colony establishment and maintenance. Evaluation of natural enemy performance against T. absoluta. Studies of the interaction of introduced natural with their African counterparts, impact on non-targets and assessment of life table parameters.
8 WP 3: New technologies/ already existing management tools identified, tested and implemented Work package 3 activities Evaluation of mass trapping technique as an IPM component. Developing of an attract-and-kill strategy as an effective and low-cost IPM component. Development of entomopathogens (fungi and virus) as biopesticides. Evaluation of natural products. Habitat management technique based on intercropping for T. absoluta control
9 WP 4: Surveillance for the pest in selected high risk countries initiated and sustained Work package 4 activities Conduct specific surveillance for detection and monitoring of T. absoluta in Kenya, Uganda and Republic of South Sudan.
10 WP 5: Capacity building of NARS in the project target countries initiated and implemented Work package 5 activities Selection and training of a group of core trainers in each project country. Development of training and awareness materials for NARS and farmers training activities. Facilitate farmer group training, awareness campaigns on technology availability on biocontrol and IPM for T. absoluta. Distribution of training materials and information availability through the websites and media. Advance level training at PhD and MSc.
11 Project partners The International Potato Center (CIP), Lima, Peru; Institute for Biological Control, Julius Kuehn-Institut (JKI), Darmstadt, Germany; Higher Agronomic Institute of Chott-Meriem, University of Sousse, Tunisia; Arid Regions Research institute, Tunisia Agricultural Research Cooperation (ARC), Khartoum, Sudan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Cooperatives & Rural Development, Juba, Republic of south Sudan Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (KEPHIS), Nairobi, Kenya; Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Entebbe Uganda.
12 Project beneficiaries Direct beneficiaries Tomato growers at both subsistence as well as commercial levels NARS partners (extension officers, quarantine personnel, agricultural officers) Students will benefit by receiving higher degree training on monitoring and management of T. absoluta. The wider scientific community. Indirect beneficiaries Other solanaceous vegetable growers, Tomato processors, traders and exporters
13 Possible future collaborations Potential joint SDC West Africa Tuta project USAID Horticulture CRSP Other potential collaborators
