Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), native to Peru, South America, is a worldwide quarantine invasive pest and has spread to more than 110 countries and regions, posing a serious threat to the tomato industry. Due to the negative effects of chemical control, the research and development as well as application of green control technologies are particularly important. This paper reviews the research progress of green prevention and control technologies, including "push-pull" technologies, physicochemical trapping and control technologies, biological control technology and other new concepts of prevention and control. The aim of this paper is to provide tomato growers with scientific and effective control guidance for the prevention and control of T. absoluta, reduce the use of chemical pesticides, and guarantee the sustainable development of the tomato industry and the quality and safety of agricultural products.
