Many intracellular microbial symbionts of arthropods are strictly vertically transmitted and manipulate their host's reproduction in ways that enhance their own transmission. Rare horizontal transmission events are nonetheless necessary for symbiont spread to novel host lineages. Horizontal transmission has been mostly inferred from phylogenetic studies but the mechanisms of spread are still la...

Agriculture is suffering from the problem of low fertility and climate hazards such as increased pest attacks diseases. Early prediction can be very helpful in improving productivity agriculture. Insect (whitefly) attack has a high influence on cotton crop yield. Internet Things solution proposed to predict whitefly take prevention measures. An insect system (IPPS) was developed with help RBFN ...

Objective: Sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gen. (B. tabaci), is one of the most important pests of various greenhouse crops in Iran. Nowadays, chemical insecticides are broadly used for control of the pests that causes risk to consumer's health. For the first time, contact toxicity of Pelargonium roseum Andrews and Artemisia sieberi Besser essential oils on B. tabaci and its possible appl...

Soybean is one of the important food commodities in Indonesia which occupies third position after rice and corn. In 2020, soybean production reached 632.3 tons but decreased by 3.01% to 613.3 2021 predicted continue decline until 2024. Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) pests on soybeans. also a viral vector. The purpose this study was obtain refugia plants were effective suppressing whitefly pest popul...

Cultivating oranges is one of the main fruit commodities in Bali. Citrus cultivation often experiences problems, which insect pests and plant diseases. Pests that attack are whitefly. Whiteflies cause damage directly or indirectly. It results stunted leaves because whitefly sucks on young shoots leaves. Indirectly, has been reported as a vector various diseases caused by viruses. Based this, it...

The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci biotype B is extremely polyphagous with >600 species of host plants. We hypothesized that previous experience of the whitefly on a given host plant affects their host selection and performance on the plants without previous experience. We investigated the host selection for feeding and oviposition of adults and development and survival of immatures of th...

background & aim: the plants of the greenhouse have been affected by infestation of the pest trialeurodes vaporariorum, called greenhouse whitefly, which markedly reduced production. synthetic insecticides have been widely developed and, their extensive use has brought about disadvantages, like environmental disturbance, pest resistance, lethal effects on non target organisms and toxicity t...
