| dc.description.abstract | This publication summarizes the principles of integrated whitefly management and resistance stewardship in desert agriculture. Prompted by unusually high whitefly populations observed during spring 2026, it highlights the importance of biological control, selective insecticide use, cross-commodity cooperation, and landscape-scale resistance management. The publication also introduces the Proactive Resistance Management (PRM) app, a decision-support tool designed to help preserve insecticide efficacy and support sustainable pest management across Arizona agricultural systems. | en_US |
