“…In Japan, a viral disease caused by tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is vectored by B. tabaci and is a major cause of the loss of tomato crops grown in greenhouses (Ueda & Brown, 2006). Woven screens with a fine mesh have been used extensively to prevent whiteflies from entering greenhouses, but these screens reduce ventilation, causing overheating and increasing relative humidity (Teitel et al, 1999).…”

Two types of an electric field screen were used to exclude whiteflies from a greenhouse. Singly charged dipolar electric field screen had insulated conductor iron wires arrayed in parallel (ICW-layer), two earthed metal nets on both sides of the ICW-layer, and a direct current voltage generator. Screens were attached to the lateral windows of the greenhouse to repel whiteflies that approached the nets. To electrostatically guard the greenhouse entrance, doubly charged dipolar electric field screens (DD-screens) were used to capture whiteflies entering through the door. The ICWs, oppositely charged with equal voltages, were arrayed one after the other, and an insulator board or net was placed on one side of the ICW-layer. ICWs captured whiteflies entering an electric field of DD-screens. A small pre-entrance room was constructed at the entrance area, and three DD-screens (with yellow and gray board or gray net) were installed in the pre-entrance room taking into consideration the airflow inside the room, as most whiteflies were brought in by the air when the door was opened. Two DD-screens with the board were useful for directing the wind toward the wall into which the netted DD-screen was integrated. Insects were eliminated by this screen, and the pest-free air was circulated inside the greenhouse. The yellow-boarded DD-screen was highly attractive because of the photo-selective movement of the whiteflies and was effective for trapping the whiteflies when there was no wind. Our electrostatic method is effective at keeping the greenhouse pest-free throughout the entire period of tomato cultivation.

“…For instance, in Brazil, almost all vegetable fields are seriously damaged by B. tabaci, incurring a cumulative economic loss of US $5 billion or greater since 1995. 5) The Q-biotype of B. tabaci is believed to have originated in the Iberian peninsula 6) and is now distributed in Japan, 7) China, 8,9) the USA, 10) and several other areas, with the exception of Antarctica. 11) This biotype not only is highly resistant to several kinds of insecticides 12) but also exhibits cross-resistance to insecticides such as chloronicotinyl, 13) which plays a pivotal role in control programs for important insect pests.…”

Effect of a novel repellent, acetylated glyceride, against sweet potato whitefly, <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

With the aim of identifying safe control agents for whiteflies, we screened foods and food additives and observed that acetylated glyceride showed strong repellent activity against the sweet potato whitefly Bemisia tabaci. The acetylated glyceride (acetic and fatty acid esters of glycerol) has been used as food additives worldwide. The numbers of settled adults, courting pairs, and nymphs on host plant leaves were reduced by acetylated glyceride treatment. The highest control was attained with foliar treatment (0.2%, v/v) at 7-day intervals. Phytotoxicity to tomato plants was below the commercially acceptable level. The acetylated glyceride was harmless against four species of natural enemies examined.

“…tabaci B-and Q-biotypes inhabit Japan; the former was first recorded in 1989 (Ohto, 1990;Matsui and Nakashima, 1992) and the latter was identified in 2005 (Ueda and Brown, 2006). Since then, the Bbiotype has spread almost entirely throughout Japan, and, by February 2008, the Q-biotype had extended its distribution and spread to over 37 of 47 prefectures in Japan (Honda, 2008).…”

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) B-and Q-biotypes are exotic insects in Japan and are consequently regarded as insect pests in agricultural fields. Using B-and Q-biotypes, we investigated the hatching rate, survival rate during the larval stage and the total development period from egg to adult. Whiteflies were allowed to lay eggs on several host plants: cabbage, Brassica oleracea var. capitata; cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.; tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L.; eggplant, Solanum melongena L.; bell pepper, Capsicum annuum cv. grossum; and five cultivars of kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris (cvs. Kentucky101, Nagauzura, Morocco, Satsukimidori and Honkintoki), and the effects on the above traits were evaluated. Clear differences between the two biotypes were detected. A particularly important difference was that the B-biotype successfully developed to adults on only one of five cultivars of kidney bean, whereas the Q-biotype was able to utilize all the test plants as hosts regardless of the cultivar. This finding suggests that the determination of host plants in B. tabaci is greatly influenced by not only plant species but also by cultivar. In addition, there is a high possibility that the Q-biotype has the ability to adapt to a wider range of plant species and cultivars compared with the B-biotype.
