Interaction Between Bemisia tabaci, Begomoviruses, and Plant Species in Latin America and the Caribbean

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The tropical and sub-tropical agricultural regions of Latin America and the Caribbean have suffered a high incidence of viruses transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in several food and industrial crops of socio-economic importance. These crop production problems have been particularly severe in the past four decades, due to the adoption of modern agricultural practices, such as the extensive and intensive cultivation of a larger number of susceptible crops, a marked increase in the use of agro-chemicals, new cultural practices, and the accelerated evolution of pests under these conditions. The damage caused by these pests is also closely associated with the occurrence of suitable environmental conditions for the reproduction of B. tabaci. This chapter describes the interaction of B. tabaci with wild and cultivated plant species in Latin America and the Caribbean, and describes the most effective methods of integrated plant pest and disease management available.
