Explanations for the upsurge in B. tabaci outbreaks have often centered on failures of management, in particular as related to the disruptions in control brought about by excessive insecticide use. Although other element of B. tabaci population dynamics are clearly recognized, there has been no synthesis of the fundamental factors that contribute to B. tabaci outbreaks. |
