Abstract

Se registra por primera vez en Venezuela la relacion foretica del acaro Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) y la mosca blanca Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius). Dicha relacion se detecto en plantas de pepino Cucumis sativus L. var. Poinsett-76 (Cucurbitaceae) y ajonjoli Sesamun indicum L. var. INIA-1 (Pedaliaceae), en la Estacion Experimental Experta, Facultad de Agronomia, Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV), Maracay, Estado Aragua. Este senalamiento, destaca la importancia que tienen los individuos adultos de B. tabaci como mecanismo de transporte y dispersion de otra plaga polifaga como P. latus.
