Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association In tunnels, proximity to source plants mattered more than insecticide treatment.
- Intervention effect Insecticide-treated transplants tended to suppress whitefly incidence.
- Intervention effect Insecticide-treated transplants tended to slow TYLCV movement.
- Association Plants closer to the source had higher whitefly incidence regardless of treatment.
- Intervention effect Insecticide significantly reduced TYLCV spread in the large plot.
- Observation Without insecticide, 80% of spread occurred within 15 m of the source.
- Observation Validation placed the restricted spread distance within 11 m.
- Intervention effect Insecticide generally reduced the distance and magnitude of TYLCV spread.
