Article Synopsis
- The study explored how whiteflies interact with six different cassava cultivars using specialized electrical penetration graph techniques to analyze their feeding behavior.
- Key findings showed distinct waveforms of whitefly activity, with certain cultivars like Huaybong 80 and Kasetsart 50 having longer non-probing periods, indicating less preference for those plants.
- Trichome density and size played a significant role in whitefly behavior, with cultivars featuring lower density and larger trichomes showing better resistance to infestations and the transmission of Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus, informing future breeding strategies.
