Plots were three, 15 ft long rows with rows separated 3 ft end to end and 5 ft side to side, and were irrigated by a seepage sub-irrigation system. Treatments were replicated four times in a randomized complete block design. Treatments were applied as soil drenches following transplanting on 2 Aug to each plant in 4 oz of water. Whitefly densities were assessed on the middle 10 plants of the middle row of each plot. The numbers of adults were counted weekly by carefully turning the nd rd th third leaf of two stems of each plant. The numbers of sessile nymphs (2 , 3 and 4 instars) of the silverleaf whitefly were th th counted weekly on the terminal leaflet from the 7 - 8 leaf counting from the top of each plant. The number of plants in each plot with definite symptoms of the whitefly-vectored geminivirus, Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), was recorded weekly. The silverleaf whitefly population was high early in the trial but decreased to a moderate level (Tables 1-4). The numbers of adults were lower on all treated plots compared to check plots on 10 Aug and 1 and 8 Sep (Table 1). On 24 Aug, there were fewer adults observed in Admire Pro and Platinum treated plots than in the untreated plots. Relative to the check, the nd rd numbers of 2 and 3 instars were lower on all treated plots on 25 Aug and 1 Sep, except for Platinum treated plots on 1 th Sep (Table 2). The numbers of 4 instars were lower on all treated plots compared to the check on 25 Aug (Table 3). On 8 th Sep, fewer 4 instars were observed on plots treated with either Admire Pro or TD 2488-01 compared to the check. Fewer nd rd th total sessile nymphs (2 , 3 and 4 instars) were counted on all treated plot compared to the check on 25 Aug and 1 Sep (Table 4). The incidence of plants with symptoms of TYLCV was high during the experiment, reaching 100% in all plots by 28 Sep (Table 5). The numbers of plants with symptoms of TYLCV were lower on Platinum treated plots compared to the check on 23 Aug, on TD 2484-01 treated plots on 23 and 30 Aug, and on TD 2488-01 treated plots on 30 Aug and 8 Sep. No visible phytotoxicity was observed with any treatment.
