Interpretive Summary: Specific data include field-based, partial life table data for immature stages of Bemisia tabaci on cotton in Maricopa, Arizona, USA from 1997 to 2010. Multiple life tables were generated each year to examine the impact of a classical biological control program for this pest. Life table data was further processed to provide inputs to stage-based matrix models that were then used to estimate overall population growth rate and can to determine which life stages and mortality factors contribute the most to changes in growth rates following the introduction of exotic parasitoids in the classical biological control program.
