The study investigates the hourly distribution of Tuta absoluta, a significant pest of tomato crops, using sex pheromone and UV light traps in greenhouses. Results indicate that male adults respond to sex pheromones primarily at dawn, with peak capture at 07:30, while both male and female adults are attracted to UV light traps from dusk until dawn, peaking at 21:30. These findings are crucial for developing effective integrated pest management strategies for controlling this pest in tomato cultivation.
