Biosecurity and Economic Concerns on Invasion by Exotic Whiteflies in India and their Biocontrol Strategies
Keywords:
invasive whiteflies, biosecurity, economic concerns, biocontrol strategies, IndiaAbstract
Among the potentially important invasive species globally are the whiteflies. Out of over 110 exotic insect species reported to have invaded India, whiteflies and mealybugs constitute a major part .Their related impHcations on biosecurity and economic concerns have been rather significant for Indian agriculture-horticulture and forestry ecosystems. The relevant information along with illustration of the biocontrol strategies adopted towards their containment and sustainable management at national level are summarised herein.
