A Semipersistent Plant Virus Differentially Manipulates Feeding Behaviors of Different Sexes and Biotypes of Its Whitefly Vector. [PDF]
It is known that plant viruses can change the performance of their vectors. However, there have been no reports on whether or how a semipersistent plant virus manipulates the feeding behaviors of its whitefly vectors.

Virus-Inducible Activation of Hypersensitive Response Confers Broad-Spectrum Resistance to Diverse Viruses in Plants. [PDF]
Using a virus‐inducible promoter to drive the expression of the Avr4/Cf‐4 gene pair can trigger a hypersensitive response upon viral infection, which confers plants broad‐spectrum resistance to geminiviruses. ABSTRACT The hypersensitive response (HR) is a powerful plant defence mechanism that restricts pathogen spread through localised cell death ...

Obligate and facultative symbionts in different populations of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Hem.: Aleyrodidae) [PDF]
The greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), is one of the harmful pests of vegetables and ornamental plants. The high damage caused by this pest has made it necessary to design an integrated pest management (IPM) programs based on ...

Whitefly Abundance on Rooted Poinsettia Cuttings and Finished Poinsettias
In this study, we surveyed the initial whitefly (Aleyrodidae) populations on rooted poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) cuttings at two commercial greenhouse facilities in both 2017 and 2018 to determine the initial whitefly population at the beginning of

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...

Greenhouse Whitefly Control on Marigolds, Michigan, 1991 [PDF]
Abstract Marigold plants were raised from seed in 6" clay pots for ten wk (10-12" tall) in a research greenhouse infested with whitefly at Michigan State University. The plants were watered by a drip irrigation system for 2 min/d, 4 d/wk (Sun, Mon, Wed, and Fri).

Joint application of entomopatogenic fungi against pests [PDF]
The research presented in the article focused on the combined use of entomopathogenic fungi and insecticides to control plant-sucking pests, specifically targeting greenhouse whitefly and cotton aphid. The insecticide Fufanon was applied at a rate of 2.5

Effect of Temperature on Imago Life Span, Fecundity and Reproduction Rate of Greenhouse Whitefly (T. vaporariorum W.) [PDF]
Imago life span, fecundity and survival rate of the different developmental stages and average abundance of female offspring of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) were studied at three constant (18, 22 and 27°C) and one alternating (18/7°C ...
