Biology and control strategies for whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) (Homoptera:Aleyrodidae) populations in Burkina Faso (West Africa)

Field and laboratory investigations were conducted in Burkina Faso to diagnose the causes of severe outbreaks of Bemisia tabaci populations and gênerai failures of chemical control against this pest in cotton. / Field and laboratory investigations were conducted in Burkina Faso to diagnose the causes of severe outbreaks of Bemisia tabaci populations and general failures of chemical control against this pest in cotton. The research efforts were oriented in the following three areas: I) the susceptibility of B. tabaci populations and its parasitoids to cotton insecticides; I) the susceptibility of B. tabaci populations and its parasitoids to cotton insecticides, a) conventional insecticides, b) novel insecticides; II) the relative abundance of B. tabaci and its parasitoids in the field; III) the biological activities of some botanical extracts as alternative insecticides against the pest.
