Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is an important pest of many crops in the world, distributed in tropical and
subtropical regions [1, 2]. B. tabaci causes damage to plants in four ways [3-5]. First, nymphs and adults
suck nutrient fluids from the phloem in plant stems and leaves, causing leaves to turn yellow and fall
off, plants to become stunted and wilted, or even cause plant death [5]. Second, B. tabaci stings respond
to plants by releasing a honeydew-like fluid that can be utilized by fungi, causing stomata to close and
inhibiting plant respiration and photosynthesis [6]. Third, B. tabaci is a vector insect that can transmit
more than 100 plant viruses. Fourth, adults and nymphs can inject toxic fluids during feeding, thereby
disrupting plant physiology [7, 8].
