, known as the South American tomato leaf miner, significantly impacts tomato plants () economically on a global scale. This pest, belonging to the Gelechiidae family, is native to South America and was first identified in Peru in 1917. Since its discovery, has rapidly spread to Europe, Africa, and Asia, severely threatening tomato production in these regions. The widespread application of chemical pesticides against this pest has resulted in significant environmental harm, including contamination of soil and water, and has had negative effects on non-target species such as beneficial insects, birds, and aquatic life. Although substantial research has been conducted, biological control methods for remain insufficient, necessitating further study. This review covers the Biology, Classification, and Entomopathogen-Based Management of (Meyrick) in Asia. It provides essential insights into the pest's life cycle, ecological impacts, and the potential of entomopathogens as biocontrol agents. The detailed information presented aims to facilitate the development of sustainable pest control strategies, minimizing environmental impact and promoting the use of entomopathogens as viable alternatives to chemical pesticides in controlling insect pest.
番茄潜麦蛾，又称南美番茄潜叶蛾，在全球范围内对番茄植株造成了重大经济影响。这种害虫属于麦蛾科，原产于南美洲，1917年在秘鲁首次被发现。自发现以来，它已迅速传播到欧洲、非洲和亚洲，严重威胁这些地区的番茄生产。针对这种害虫广泛使用化学农药已对环境造成重大危害，包括土壤和水污染，并对有益昆虫、鸟类和水生生物等非目标物种产生负面影响。尽管已经进行了大量研究，但针对番茄潜麦蛾的生物防治方法仍然不足，需要进一步研究。本综述涵盖了亚洲番茄潜麦蛾（麦里克）的生物学、分类及基于昆虫病原体的管理。它提供了关于该害虫生命周期、生态影响以及昆虫病原体作为生物防治剂潜力的重要见解。所呈现的详细信息旨在促进可持续害虫控制策略的发展，最大限度地减少环境影响，并推动将昆虫病原体作为控制番茄潜麦蛾害虫的可行替代化学农药的方法加以利用。
