Abstract

Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, was monitored on vegetable crops that grown in open fields for two growing seasons (summer and winter 2002/2003) by using yellow sticky traps. Incidence of whitefly was correlated with weather factors that existing in Al-Hasa District, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Yellow sticky traps were efficient in monitoring and capturing adults of whitefly.
The data showed a low correlation between weather factors and number of adult whitefly on yellow sticky traps. Density of whitefly population was varied on vegetable crops. Population dynamics studies revealed that whitefly had two peaks of infestation. The lowest one, in November and December, while the highest one, in May and June during the period of this study (2002/2003).
