Yellow sticky traps are a common method for monitoring many pests, but it has not been shown whether they could be used as a control method. In this study the impact of yellow sticky traps on the population dynamics of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) was determined in the greenhouse and field. In the greenhouse, yellow sticky traps significantly suppressed the population increase of adult and immature whiteflies. The whitefly densities in the greenhouse with traps were significantly lower than the greenhouse without traps. In the field, traps did not have a significant impact on the population dynamics of adult and immature whiteflies. The densities in fields with traps were very similar to fields without traps. These results suggest that yellow sticky traps can be used as an effective method for the control of whiteflies in the greenhouse, but not in the field. This information will prove useful for the effective management of whiteflies in greenhouses.
黄色粘虫板是监测许多害虫的常用方法，但尚未证明它们是否可用作控制方法。本研究在温室和田间条件下，确定了黄色粘虫板对甘薯粉虱，Bemisia tabaci（Gennadius）（半翅目：粉虱科）种群动态的影响。在温室中，黄色粘虫板显著抑制了成虫和若虫粉虱的种群增加。有粘虫板的温室中的粉虱密度明显低于没有粘虫板的温室。在田间，诱捕器对成虫和若虫粉虱的种群动态没有显著影响。有诱捕器的田地中的密度与没有诱捕器的田地非常相似。这些结果表明，黄色粘虫板可作为温室中防治粉虱的有效方法，但在田间则无效。这些信息将有助于有效管理温室中的粉虱。
