Bemisia 1995: taxonomy, biology, damage, control and management

Partial contents: Section 1 Basic Biology, Section 2 Population Dynamics, Section 3 Non-Viral Damage Expressions, Section 4 Whitefly-Borne Viruses, Section 5 Plant Resistance, Section 6 International Cooperation in Research and Control, Section 7 Biological Control, Section 8 Chemical Control, Section 9 Pest Management.

During the last 5 years damage caused by the whitefly has exceeded one billion US$, making their control of major economic and agricultural importance worldwide. Consequently, extensive research is being carried out in population dynamics, plant-pest relationships, virology and plant breeding, with international co-operation in information gathering and joint research growing in importance. This book summarizes the contributions presented at a workshop held in Israel in October 1994 to address the current problems, emphasize ongoing research projects and outline avenues of future research and control technology.
