Comparison of Toxicological Bioassays for Whiteflies [PDF]

Insects, 2020
Two Bemisia tabaci populations from Georgia and Florida, USA, were tested for their response to insecticides across different toxicological bioassay methods. Five insecticides in four Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) groups (imidacloprid (4A), dinotefuran (4A), flupyradifurone (4D), pyriproxyfen (7C) and cyantraniliprole (28)), were ...

Exploring the effectiveness of methyl salicylate and attractive traps in dispersing and recapturing glasshouse whiteflies: advances in push-pull strategy. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Methyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown

Field Evaluation of Cucurbita Germplasm for Resistance to Whiteflies and Whitefly-transmitted Viruses [PDF]

HortScience, 2022
Summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) is a major vegetable crop produced in Georgia and Florida during the fall season. This production is vulnerable to whitefly (Bemisisia tabaci Genn.)-transmitted viruses that lead to severe yield losses. Over the past several years, whitefly populations have increased during the fall, thus leading to an increase in ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Plants and Implications for Biotechnology. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), a fundamental process long acknowledged in prokaryotic evolution, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal force in shaping the evolutionary trajectories of eukaryotes, including plants. Despite its established significance in prokaryotic adaptation, the role of HGT in eukaryotic evolution is still understudied ...

Unattended Trapping of Whiteflies Driven out of Tomato Plants onto a Yellow-Colored Double-Charged Dipolar Electric Field Screen

Horticulturae, 2022
An unattended pest control system was developed to eliminate whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) that settled on greenhouse tomato plants. The system exploited the whitefly’s habit of flying up from a plant that was mechanically tapped and then heading toward ...

Impact of host plant species and whitefly species on feeding behavior of Bemisia tabaci [PDF]

, 2019
Whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci species complex are economically important pests of cassava. In Africa, they cause greatest damage through vectoring viruses responsible for cassava mosaic disease and cassava brown streak disease. Several cryptic species
