Tomato leaf miner larvae feed on leaves and fruits, from seedlings to mature tomato plants. Infestation is often followed by infections by secondary pathogens rendering infested crops unmarketable, if not totally destroyed.
The availability of these products is becoming more and more important in order to control pests and diseases in plant crops in a sustainable and environmental friendly way. After four years this ambitious EU project has proved to be an excellent example of how a public-private cooperation can make the difference. 
As larvae are internal feeders it is difficult to achieve an effective control through application of chemical insecticides. Moreover, tomato leaf miner can rapidly evolve strains with resistance to insecticides that have been previously effective. Failure by synthetic insecticides has also been reported in many countries.
