Abstract
Several management strategies have been developed for control of WFT based on the biology and behavior of the pest. The following IPM strategies are described for control of WFT: physical exclusion and screening considerations; cultural controls such as weed control around greenhouses, avoidance of continuous cropping, and disposal of plant residues; monitoring; and chemical control.
