Interactions between plants and insects have been widely studied. Plants develop numerous strategies to avoid establishment and/or feeding by insects. The aim of this research was to evaluate oviposition preference, nymphal development, and survival of Bactericera cockerelli Sulc on ‘Floradade’, ‘Micro-Tom’, and ‘Wild’ varieties of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Free-choice assays showed B. cockerelli oviposited twice more on ‘Floradade’ than ‘Micro-Tom’ with 1,000 and 479 eggs, respectively. Nymphal stages as well as adults of the pest developed much better on Floradade’ variety to emerge 3 days earlier than in ‘Micro-Tom’ and ‘Wild’ varieties. Adult emergence percentage was 52, 36, and 18% for ‘Floradade’, ‘Micro-Tom’, and ‘Wild’. Results in a greenhouse showed the degree of domestication of tomato varieties affected oviposition preference and survival of the insect.
