Dead, trapped whitefly occurred in similar numbers on both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves even though glandular hairs were denser on the former. Females constituted 58% of untrapped but 86% of trapped adults, many becoming trapped during oviposition which occurred mainly on the lower surfaces. Of the four cultivars studied, Strain B trapped more whitefly than Ace, Marglobe or Moneymaker.Read More
