During the past decade, the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisa tabaci, Biotype B) has been relegated to a managed pest in Ari-zona. This was achieved through the de-velopment, adoption and implementation of management programs in a partnership between the University and growers. Growers are quick to adopt new guidelines that have been developed in response to pest crises and other significant events. The recent registration of several new neonicotinoid compounds on cotton, mel-ons and vegetables has expanded the num-ber of compounds available for whitefly control on these crops. Admire ® (imida
