Abstract :
Bemesia tabaci is an important pests in tomato fields. Effect of some control methods for these insect was evaluated in tomato nursery. This experiment was conducted in Borazjan, Bushehr Agricultural and Natural Resource Research Center. The treatments consisted of; yellow sticky trap, aluminum mulch on soil, cloth net mulch on plots, oil (1%) and pesticide (Imidaclopride 0.8 ml/l) spray and control (without any control method). These treatments were laid in a RCBD (Randomized Block Design) with 3 replications. Number of whitefly nymphs on 15 leaflets was recorded. The treatments were compared with Duncan`s Multiple Range Test. The results indicated that cloth net mulch has the lowest number of whitefly nymph. All treatments were coefficient different with control.
