| dc.description.abstract | This IPM short provides a comprehensive overview of sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) management in spring melons in the desert Southwest. Whiteflies pose a dual threat through direct feeding damage and transmission of Cucurbit Yellows Stunting Disorder Virus (CYSDV). The publication outlines economic impacts, sampling strategies, and cultural, biological, and chemical control tactics. Emphasis is placed on early season management, soil-applied neonicotinoids, and foliar insecticides, with additional considerations for pollinator safety and resistance management. Effective whitefly suppression requires an integrated, area-wide approach to prevent colonization and mitigate virus spread. | en_US |
