“…It is an important pest of more than 600 species of plants of numerous fi eld and vegetable crops in many parts of the world (Naranjo et al, 2010). Whitefl ies cause serious damage by feeding, producing honeydew and the resultant sooty mould, and disease transmission (Stansly & Natwick, 2010). Although known as a sporadic pest of cotton in China for many years, Bemisia tabaci Biotype-B did not become an important pest in northern China until 2000(Wu et al, 2002, and is now widely distributed across China (Hu et al, 2011).…”

“…Th e whitefl y is a polyphagous insect pest on more than 600 diff erent plant species (Oliveira et al 2001;Bayhan et al 2006;Stansly and Natwick 2010). It causes economic losses in vegetable, fi ber, and ornamental crops due to both direct damage through phloem feeding and injection of toxins and indirect damage to the host plant through its ability to transmit plant viruses (Pereira et al 2004;Brown 2010).…”

“…Indirect damage occurs through transmission of geminiviruses; whitefl ies are vector of more than 300 plant viruses (Hogenhout et al 2008). Moreover, an unfavorable side eff ect of whitefl y infestation is the production of carbohydrate--rich honeydew excretions, which make the leaves sticky, impair photosynthesis and support the growth of sooty mold fungi on the plant leaf and fruit surface (Stansly and Natwick 2010). Whiteflies have a high level of resistance to chemical pesticides (Horowitz et al 2005).…”

Th is study has two main approaches. First, it exploits the susceptibility of tomato cultivars as a prophylactic measure to detect auto resistance characters of the tested tomato varieties against Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). Secondly, it evaluates the effi cacy of diff erent bio-rational insecticides against B. tabaci under greenhouse conditions. Th e results exhibited a special signifi cance in B. tabaci infestation suitability between the two tomato varieties with a high infestation signifi cance found in the Shifa F1 hybrid tomato variety compared to the Savera F1 hybrid tomato variety in the fi rst plantation period. Subsequently, in the second plantation period, there was a signifi cant diff erence between the two tomato varieties. Bemisia tabaci showed a preference for the Shifa F1 hybrid over the Savera F1 hybrid tomato variety. Th ese diff erences occurred during the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th weeks. In the experimental trial for the effi cacy of eco-friendly biorational insecticides, spinosad, azadirachtin, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, there were signifi cant diff erences between the treated and untreated plants during the two plantation periods. A high effi cacy of spinosad on the B. tabaci population was found. Bemisia tabaci infestation under all the applications was reduced from 50 to 94.61% for the two plantation periods. Th is obvious decrease in B. tabaci population increase attention to benefi ts of the diff erent bio-rational insecticides.

“…It is a biparental species which, like all Eretmocerus spp., undergoes an ecto-and endoparasitic stage in its life cycle on the whitefly host (Urbaneja et al, 2007). Eretmocerus mundus has been widely used for controlling B. tabaci in greenhouses (Urbaneja et al, 2002;Stansly et al, 2004aStansly et al, , b, 2005aCalvo et al, 2009a;Arnó et al, 2010b;Stansly and Natwick, 2010) because it is more effective than E. eremicus (Stansly et al, 2005a). Therefore, E. mundus has until recently been the basis of biocontrol of B. tabaci in protected crops in the Mediterranean (Castañé et al, 2008).…”

The Panel on Plant Health conducted a pest risk assessment for Bemisia tabaci and the viruses it transmits, including an evaluation of risk reduction options and an assessment of the effectiveness of the special requirements linked to B. tabaci and the viruses listed in Council Directive 2000/29/EC. B. tabaci and a large number of viruses transmitted by this polyphagous insect occur in subtropical and tropical climates around the world. Five entry pathways for B. tabaci and associated viruses were identified, with the plants for planting pathway being most significant and rated for entry of insects and viruses as likely and moderately likely, respectively. The most invasive B. tabaci species and several of its associated viruses responsible for severe diseases in major European food crops are established outdoors in coastal Mediterranean regions. Because of similar climate requirements and host plant preferences, B. tabaci and associated viruses currently not present in Europe are likely to establish within the temperature limits set for B. tabaci. Trade between European Member States allows B. tabaci to reach greenhouses in northern Europe, including those in areas with protected zone status. Because of the cool climate, establishment and spread outdoors of B. tabaci is rated unlikely for northern Europe. This situation is likely to continue even under a climatic scenario with an increase in temperature of +2 °C. B. tabaci -transmitted viruses cause severe diseases with major negative impact on crop production when risk reduction measures are not used. Risk reduction options will also apply to B. tabaci and viruses new to Europe. Risk reductions options are evaluated in terms of reducing B. tabaci populations, crop infestations, virus incidence and the impact of diseases. © European Food Safety Authority, 2013 KEY WORDSBemisia tabaci, European and non-European Bemisia tabaci, begomoviruses, non-circulatively transmitted viruses, pest risk assessment, risk reduction options. With regard to the assessment of the risks to plant health:B. tabaci is considered to be one of the most serious threats to crop cultivation worldwide, predominantly because of the large number of viruses it transmits. In regions where B. tabaci is established, viruses transmitted by this insect, especially those affecting tomato and cucurbits, and also beans, pepper and aubergines, are responsible for severe diseases that have a strong negative impact on crop yield. As a consequence, crop production in those areas is not possible without a system-wide and comprehensive set of pest and disease management measures in place. In the risk assessment area, B. tabaci is present outdoors in coastal areas with a Mediterranean climate, and in many EU countries the pest is present in greenhouses.B. tabaci is a complex of at least 28 indistinguishable morphocryptic species, of which four occur in Europe. Two species, Mediterranean (Med, formerly referred to as biotype Q) and Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1, formerly referred to as biotype B), a...
