Whitefly and Whitefly-Borne Viruses in the Tropics:
Building a Knowledge Base for Global Action
Whiteflies and the viruses they carry comprise two of the
worst crop pests of all times. Devastating in their effects, particularly
for resource-poor farmers, these pests are found throughout the tropics
and subtropics. Their control presents such major challenges that many
nations, which otherwise do not regulate agriculture, have instigated
legal measures. The book describes the impact, including misuse of highly
toxic pesticides, that whiteflies and their viruses have on agricultural
sustainability, ecosystem health, and human health. Suggestions are offered
on efficient and sustainable measures for integrated pest and disease
management. The crops discussed include cassava, sweetpotato, vegetables,
and legumes, grown in either mixed or annual cropping systems. Case studies
in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean are examined.
