The cotton or sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is a major pest in Algeria, affecting various greenhouse-grown crops. This study aimed to monitor B. tabaci population dynamics on tomatoes, peppers, zucchinis, and strawberries to understand its infestation patterns. The methodology involved regular monitoring of pest activity on these crops and a laboratory bioassay to assess the efficacy of two entomopathogenic fungi, Verticillium sp. and Paecilomyces sp., in controlling the whitefly. Results revealed that B. tabaci was most prevalent on tomatoes, with a 43.73% infestation rate, followed by peppers at 24%, zucchinis at 19.14%, and strawberries at 13.11%. In addition, laboratory trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of two entomopathogenic fungi, Verticillium sp. and Paecilomyces sp., in controlling the whitefly. Verticillium sp. showed higher efficacy, achieving a 73% mortality rate, while Paecilomyces sp. resulted in a significantly lower mortality of 23%. These findings suggest that Verticillium sp. holds promise as a biological control agent for managing B. tabaci in Algeria, particularly on tomato crops.
