WHO CAUSES IT?
Bemisia tabaci, commonly known as whitefly, is a small insect approximately 1-2 mm in length. Adult females lay their eggs on the underside of leaves, preferring areas with a high density of young, tender leaves. Each female can lay between 100 and 300 eggs during her lifetime. The eggs hatch into nymphs that go through four instars before becoming adults. The nymphs attach to leaves and feed on plant sap, injecting toxic saliva that causes damage to plant tissues. Adults emerge from the pupae and begin to reproduce rapidly, especially in warm, humid conditions. Bemisia tabaci has a high reproductive capacity and a rapid development rate, allowing it to establish and proliferate quickly in crops.
