The silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii (also known as biotype B of the sweetpotato whitefly, B. tabaci), is the key insect pest of tomato in southern Florida. Most damage associated with the whitefly is due to the transmission of plant viruses, the most damaging of which is Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Reported is a preliminary evaluation of the capabilities of geographic information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS) to map adult whitefly density and TYLCV incidence.
Species 1: Hemiptera Aleyrodidae Bemisia tabaci (sweetpotato whitefly)
