whiteflies feed through stylet on leaves. during this process catching them by tapping the leaves or through an aspirator might lead to damage of their stylet. when we have to perform a direct transmission study of virus through whitelfies onto another plant from field to a clip cage a whitefly with a damaged stylet may not be an efficient transmittor. what is the alternative to this
Dear Kamesh
Catching the white fly insect with a suction tube is easy to obtain without damaging the parts of the mouth, and small nets can be used
On the other hand, I usually collect the leaves containing the last phase before the complete insect leaves and put them in cages with moisture and within a day or two the white fly
good luck
