Whitefly causes problems in many crops in sub-Saharan Africa (Fig.1 & 3). There are two major species of whitefly: Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Fig. 2). Both damage crops, but B. tabaci is more important as a virus vector while T. vaporariorum is a common problem in greenhouses and higher altitude areas. The viruses spread by whiteflies can severely reduce yields and in extreme cases even kill the crops. If infection occurs at seedling or vegetative stages, farmers can experience up to 100% crop loss.
