Effect of photoperiod and host distribution on the horizontal transmission of Isaria fumosorosea (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) in greenhouse whitefly assessed using a novel model bioassay [PDF]
A model bioassay was used to evaluate the epizootic potential and determine the horizontal transmission efficiency of Isaria fumosorosea Trinidadian strains against Trialeurodes vaporariorum pharate adults under optimum conditions (25±0.5°C, ~100% RH ...

Endophytic colonization of tomato by Beauveria bassiana for control of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) [PDF]
We evaluated the efficacy of four different methods for endophytic inoculation of entomo- pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana in tomato plants. Fourteen days after inoculation, root dipping and leaf spraying allowed recovery of B. bassiana from leaves,

Influence of leaf trichome type, and density on the host plant selection by the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) [PDF]
Host selection by adult greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) was assessed on two pelargonium plant cultivars, Pelargonium x domesticum (regal) and P. x hortorum (zonal) using Petri dish bioassay chambers in choice and no-choice tests.

Greenhouse Whitefly Control on Poinsettias, Massachusetts, 1984 [PDF]
Abstract Seven insecticides were tested for efficacy against green-house whiteflies and for phytotoxic responses of red poinsettias. Plants were grown in 6-inch pots in 50% Metro Mix 350 and 50% sterilized field soil. The plants were pinched to 7 leaves on 2 Oct. Bracts started showing color during the second week of November.
