Ovicidal and nymphicidal effects of some fungicides on the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum
Phytoparasitica 32 (3), 218-220
Abstract: Eggs and L1 nymphs of the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hem.: Aleyrodidae) on bean leaves were directly sprayed with the fungicides maneb and mancozeb at recommended rates for practical use. Strong ovicidal and nymphicidal effects were observed. These fungicides may prove to have practical use for integration in IPM programs for whitefly control, as they also exert low or no toxicity to the whitefly parasitoid Encarsia formosa.
