Tuta absoluta species originates from South America. It was signaled for the first time in Europe in 2006 in eastern Spain. In Romania it was detected for the first time in the western part of the country into a grange from Satu Mare county in 2009. After a year the attack of Tuta absoluta was signaled into a greenhouse from Curtici city, Arad county. Studying Tuta absoluta reaction at different chemicals and trying to discover which one is the most suitable and efficient to reduce or eliminate the population of the pest. Observations were conducted in greenhouses in Arad. They used different chemicals to reduce or eliminate the pest Tuta absoluta population. Chemicals had a positive effect to eliminate the pest population of Tuta absoluta. If it is discovered in an early stage of the attack, it can be controlled or eliminate by chemicals treatments.
