Tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta Meyrick 1917 is one of dangerous pests in greenhouse tomato production. Studies with tomato for mid-early production in unheated greenhouses were conducted in the Maritsa Vegetable Crops research Institute - Plovdiv during the period 2010-2011. Seven products for plant protection were applied in the biological study of tomato as the insecticides Alverde 20 ml/da, Confidor Energy OD 0.08 % and Avant 15 SC 20 ml/da are with high effectiveness over 75% against first-second instars of larvae of tomato leaf miner.
