Submitted to: Silverleaf Whitefly: 1997 Supplement to the Five Year National Research and
Publication Type: Proceedings Publication Acceptance Date: 8/1/1997 Publication Date: N/A Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Sweetpotato whitefly (aka silverleaf whitefly) has become a key pest of a number of agricultural systems throughout the world. The scientific literature on this pest has expanded exponentially. It is critical that current and past efforts be recognized in order to target important new research areas and minimize duplication of efforts. In 1992 we began to catalog the world literature on Bemisia as an aid to researchers, educators, extension personnel, agricultural producers, industry, and governmental administrators. In 1995 we published a bibliography of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring and offered it for wide distribution in both hardcopy and electronic formats. This second annual addendum covers citations published between December 1996 and January 1997.
