چکیده
CIAT has the responsibility to coordinate the Systemwide Tropical Whitefly IPM Program (SPIPMTWFP), and its various sub-projects in the Americas (described as activities in this section of the annual report), Southeast Asia and subSaharan Africa. These projects are funded by different donors, namely: The United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID); the United States (USAID) and New Zealand (NZAID) Agencies for International Development; and the Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). The various subprojects that constitute this global effort are currently coordinated by scientists from IITA, CIAT and AVRDC. The International Potato Center (CIP) has participated in the past and currently holds the Chair of the Systemwide IPM Program.

Resistance of soybean genotypes to Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) Biotype B (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).
The silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) biotype B has become a serious problem for soybean cultivation because it can significantly reduce soybean productivity. The use of soybean cultivars resistant to whitefly attack is an important strategy in an integrated pest management (IPM) program. This study evaluated the preference for oviposition and colonization by B. tabaci biotype B on dif...

The whiteflies Bemisia tabaci Gennadius and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are two of the main pests in tomato crops. Their biological control in Mediterranean IPM systems is based on the predators Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) and Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Hemiptera: Miridae), as well as on the parasitoids Eretmocerus mundus (Mercet) and Encarsia pergandiella H...
