Population dynamics and insecticide efficacy of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on cucumber in relation to climatic variables under field condition
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a major pest of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), causing significant yield losses through phloem feeding, honeydew production, which encourages mould formation, and the spread of economically significant plant viruses.
