Abstract


The tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) was reared on cucumber, tomato and cabbage at 27 C. Development of immature stage lasted 18.43 days on cucumber and 21.17 days on tomato, and the differences were significant. Most of eggs and first instar larvae developed on young leaves, the second and third instar larvae developed on middle leaves, and most of the pupae and empty pupal cases were found on old leaves. The insect appeared at the beginning of May during 1999 and at late of May during 2000 in open fields. The numbers of immature stages in august 1999 were 57.66, 16.13 and 44.49/ 1 cm² for egg, larvae and pupae, respectively. Many predators and the parasite eretmocerus mundus were present, which decreased the pest population densities at the late summer and fall season
