Abstract
An experiment in which six chrysanthemum genotypes were evaluated to
assess their reaction against chrysanthemum whitefly, Bemisia tabaci
(Gennadius), under polyhouse conditions during 2025. None of the evaluated
genotypes were found completely free from whitefly infestation. Significant
variation was observed among the genotypes with respect to whitefly nymph and
adult population. Among the tested genotypes, Bidhan Gol recorded the lowest
whitefly population, indicating its comparatively tolerant reaction against
whitefly infestation. And it was followed by Bidhan Agnidev, Denti White, and
Sunil, which also exhibited comparatively lower infestation and remained
statistically at par with one another. In contrast, Ratlam Selection showed a
moderate level of infestation, whereas the highest whitefly population was
observed in Ajina Purple, indicating its comparatively greater susceptibility
to whitefly infestation.
