A 2024 study by Agriculture University Peshawar has concluded that the lack of knowledge among farmers and the absence of proper management contribute to infestations of pests, leading to decreased tomato crop yields. Instead, it combines two core techniques: adjusting fertilization to strengthen the tomato plant’s natural resistance, and planting specific companion crops like Sesamum indicum and Verbena hybrida adjacent to the tomato crops." The results, compared against conventional farmer practices and control plots with no management, were impressive. This collaborative effort, which began in 2023 is part of a larger global validation of the 3MP strategy, which is also being tested in China, Vietnam, Thailand, and several European nations. The research teams plan to hold workshops for farmers, extension workers, and policymakers with the goal of integrating the 3MP strategy into national pest management guidelines.
