Assessment of intercropping tomato and sainfoin for the control of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)

Abstract In the present study, the density of tomato leafminer (TLM), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), the diversity and abundance of its predators and parasitoids, and crop yields were determined in a monoculture of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum (Mill.), (T), a monoculture of sainfoin, Onobrychis viciifolia Scop., (S) and intercropping tomato and sainfoin in four configurations of rows, namely, one row of tomato and two rows of sainfoin (1T: 2S), two rows tomato and two rows sainfoin (2T: 2S), three rows tomato and two rows sainfoin (3T: 2S), and four rows tomato and two rows sainfoin (4T: 2S). These experiments were conducted on a farm during 2016 and 2017 in Iran. Intercrops caused a significant (P
