EFFECT OF Bemisia tabaci (GENN.) AND WEEDS MANAGEMENT IN CUCUMBER FIELDS ON INFESTATION WITH COTTON WHITEFLIES IN NEIGHBOURING COTTON FIELDS
Abstract: Cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) can be managed in cucumber fields by hand hoeing of weeds two times during the season and spraying of chloropyrifosmethyl (Reldan 50% EC), pirimiphos-methyl (Actellic 50% EC), or mineral oil such as Caple-2, botinacal oil such as Jojoba oil or neem seed extract or by using Caple-2+ micronized sulpher.
The effect of B.tabaci and weeds management was monitored by counting the cotton whiteflies, which induces the new infestation in neighbour cotton fields. The investigations were conducted at Monofiea Governorate during 2002 & 2003 cotton seasons.
The obtained results indicated that weed management and spray with the insecticide, Actellic 50% EC or (mineral oil, Caple-2+ micronized sulpher) in cucumber fields had significant effect on reduction of infestion of B. tabaci in cotton fields.
