Assessment shows chemical pest management reduces tomato pest populations, improving yields significantly.

The chemical pest management module resulted in the lowest fruit damage of 4.29%, and the highest yield at 293.66 q ha-1.
Chemical pest management achieved maximum reductions in pest populations, including Bemisia tabaci and Aphis gossypii, with reductions of 57.51% and 68.07%, respectively.
A benefit-cost ratio of 1:3.52 was recorded for the chemical pest management module, indicating substantial economic advantages over others.
Higher numbers of predatory coccinellid beetles and polyphagous spiders were observed in untreated control plots compared to managed plots.

Chandran et al. (2024) studied this question.
