Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation ITS2-based PCR and Sanger sequencing showed field-collected T. tabaci had 100 % identity with reference T. tabaci sequences.
- Observation T. tabaci development was significantly faster on runner bean leaves (29.33 ± 5.58 days).
- Observation T. tabaci adult longevity was greater on onion leaves (20.07 ± 5.10 days).
- Observation Onion leaves supported a higher T. tabaci multiplication fold (4.34 ± 0.63) than bean leaves (2.75 ± 0.50) when 100 adults were released.
