The sucking pests, especially whitefly, have damaged various fields and fruit crops across the globe. The study of life-history is of prime importance to monitor the dynamics for preference of a species to its host. This study tested the prevalence and preference of a whitefly species, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) B biotype (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on tomato, cotton, pepper, and okra as hosts using age-stage two-sex life table. Results revealed the highest pre-adult developmental duration, survival rate, and fecundity on tomato while the lowest values on okra. Population parameters such as the net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and finite rate of increase (λ) were demonstrated longer on cotton and tomato compared to much lower R0, r, and λ on pepper and okra. Okra responded significantly differently in the case of the mean generation time, T among all tested genotypes. These findings suggest the possibility of summer vegetables as more favorable hosts for B. tabaci. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

The silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci B-biotype is an important pest of cotton; it affects plant vigour, transmits geminivirus and reduces lint quality. In order to evaluate the resistance of cotton genotypes, Gossypium hirsutum (L.), to the whitefly Bemisia tabaci B-biotype, both free-choice and no-choice attractiveness and non-preference for oviposition tests were carried out in a shade house, at room temperature. Low attractiveness to adults of this whitefly was observed for plants of genotypes Fabrika, CNPA Ita 90, Makina, Coodetec 407, and IAC 01-639 CPA 02-24, which may represent a resistance component of these genetic materials to the insect. Genotypes BRS Aroeira, Coodetec 406, Fabrika, and Coodetec 401 presented the non-preference-for-oviposition type of resistance in the free-choice and no-choice tests. The numbers of trichomes and gossypol glands per cm² were not suitable to evaluate non-preference for oviposition of whitefly adults on cotton genotypes.
