Biology of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B-biotype and parasitism by Encarsia formosa (Gahan) on collard, soybean and tomato plants

Abstract: The silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B-biotype (= B. argentifolii) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a polyphagous insect attacking many plant species of economic importance. A comparison study was conducted on the duration of the egg-to-adult period, and the percentage of hatching eggs of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B-biotype on collard (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala D.C.), soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants, as well as the egg-to-adult period of Encarsia fo… Show more

“…Moreover, the use of chemical is generally not recommended for B. tabaci as the high risk of the toxic residual effect can be hazardous to consumers' health and pest resurgence problem. Recently, B. tabaci was found to be resistant to chemical pesticide (Takahashi et al, 2008). Consequently, botanical insecticides may be potential alternatives of chemical for managing B. tabaci, which make them suitable insecticides for organic agriculture.…”

“…3 rd -instar nymphs were used in this study because the development of E. formosa is more synchronized at this life stage1736. Twenty newly emerged B. tabaci adults (B or Q) were placed on the abaxial surface of a selected host leaf of a tomato plant (infected or not infected with TYLCV); the adults and leaf were contained in a leaf clip-cage (one clip cage per plant).…”

“…The increase of B. tabaci eggs at 4-6 WAP was because B. tabaci has been in the second generation at 5 WAP, hence the number of eggs increased at 6 WAP. Takahashi et al (2008) stated that the life cycle of whitefly from eggs to adult on soybean and tomato plants was 21 days. The increase in the number of eggs was influenced by the growth of the host plant, which is the bigger host plant, the more nutrient was needed.…”
