Book Description
A major insect pest whose unprecedented population explosions during the past decade caused a sensation in various parts of the globe, the whitefly-Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)-both causes direct damage to plants and transmits a large number of plant viruses.

Basu has compiled, for the first time, all of the significant international research on B. tabaci entomology, plant virology, and management and control of this widespread pest.
