Natural enemies of cotton whitefly bemisia tabaci gennadius homoptera aleyrodidae in fars province of iran

Improved Conservation of Natural Enemies with Selective Management Systems for Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) in Cotton*

A large-scale study was conducted in 1996 to evaluate and demonstrate strategies for pest management of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) in cotton involving different insecticide regimes, application methods, and action thresholds. Here we examined the effects of the various management systems on the abundance and activity of native natural enemies. Population densities of 18 out of 20 taxa of arthro...

Discovering new insect viruses: whitefly iridovirus (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae: Bemisia tabaci).

Adult whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), collected from the field were screened for viral pathogens using a cell line from the silverleaf whitefly, B. tabaci, B biotype (syn. B. argentifolii). Homogenates from the field-collected whiteflies were applied to cell cultures and checked for cytopathic effects (CPE). Cells were observed to develop cytoplasmic inclusions and to have a change in m...

Population Ecology of Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) on Brinjal

Differential transcriptional activity of plant-pathogenic begomoviruses in their whitefly vector (Bemisia tabaci, Gennadius: Hemiptera Aleyrodidae).

Plant-pathogenic begomoviruses have a complex association with their whitefly vector and aspects concerning virus genetic activity (genome replication and gene transcription) within the insect remain highly controversial. Virus transcript abundance was assessed by quantifying selected gene transcripts of Tomato mottle virus (ToMoV, a New World bipartite begomovirus) and Tomato yellow leaf curl ...

study of the host correlated morphological variation in cotton whitefly populations, bemisia tabaci (gennadius) (homoptera: aleyrodidae), in varamin region

some whitefly’s species show host correlated morphological variation. cotton whitefly is a famous one that has a wide variation in its populations and biotypes. this study was conducted to evaluate these variations in varamin area during 2005-6. for this purpose, infested leaves of tomato, cucumber, egg plant and cotton collected from fields. pupal cases mounted in microscopic slides. then thei...
