Abstract
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), which is transmitted by Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), is a very destructive disease of tomato i Israel. Soil mulching with yellow polyethylene sheets delayed the spread of the disease for at least 20 days. In laboratory and field experiments, B. tabaci was found to be more attracted to yellow polyethylene than to straw or to aluminum- or blue-coloured polyethylene. A combined treatment of mulching with yellow polyethylene sheets and 1% sprays of azinphos-methyl starting 20 days after germination was the most effective in preventing the spread of TYLCV.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
