Harnessing natural enemies for sustainable management of Bemisia tabaci: a review of the role of predators, parasitoids and entomopathogens Open
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a globally destructive pest that is particularly damaging to tropical and subtropical agricultural systems. The sap-feeding behavior, coupled with its rapid reproduction, causes substa…

Leaf trichome and insecticide interactions relative to <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) management in a cotton-cucurbit strip cropping arrangement Open
Host plant resistance (HPR) has shown potential for suppressing sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), in smooth (glabrous) crop varieties lacking leaf trichomes. The objective of this study was to investi…

Evaluation of persistent versus commercial nematode strains for management of Curculio caryae (Horn) and other weevils in pecan Open
Pecan weevil is a key pest of pecans. In addition, weevils such as Fuller rose beetle (FRB) and two-banded Japanese weevil (TJW) feed on pecan foliage and roots. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have previously been shown to be effective …

Persistence of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae in a novel capsule formulation Open
The post-application persistence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) depends on environmental conditions, which affect their efficacy as biocontrol agents in the field. This study evaluated the persistence of the EPN Steinernema feltiae i…

Direct and indirect effects of selective insecticides on 2 generalist predators of <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) Open
Generalist arthropod predators have historically contributed to the suppression of arthropod pests in many agroecosystems. The successful implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) programs hinges on the incorporation of insecticid…

Precision and Accuracy of Field Versus Laboratory Bioassay Insecticide Efficacy for the Control of Immature Bemisia tabaci Open
Ecotoxicological studies often result in reports on the limitation and sometime failures of biological assay data to predict field response to similar treatments. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that controlled bioassays can better qua…

Determining Field Insecticide Efficacy on Whiteflies with Maximum Dose Bioassays Open
We conducted a rapid bioassay method to assess insecticide efficacy for controlling adult sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci in squash and cucumber crops before insecticide applications. The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a 24-ho…
