The silverleaf whitefly, also known as the sweet potato whitefly or Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), attacks a wide range of plants, from ornamentals to warm-season vegetables. Whiteflies are active from mid-July to mid-October and are found gathered together on the underside of leaves during the daytime. Although 76 whitefly species are known to exist in the Southeastern U.S., only a few species cause serious problems in greenhouses and nurseries. These species include the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum), banded wing whitefly (Trialeurodes abutiloneus), giant whitefly (Aleurodicus dugesii), citrus whitefly (Dialeurodes citri), cloudywinged whitefly (Dialeurodes citrifolii), and the silverleaf or sweet potato whitefly. Among several whitefly species, the silverleaf whitefly, particularly biotype B, is the most common and most destructive whitefly species in
nurseries in the Southeastern U.S.|
