Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate the oviposition behavior of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) biotype B in relation to plant age, adult density and plant region on common beans plants. The genotype Perola was used to do the test. In free-choice tests 20, 30 and 40 day-old plants were used where evaluated the oviposition preference of the insect. In no-choice test, 30 day-old plants were used to evaluate densities of 50, 100 and 150 adults per plants. No-choice test for plant position (apex, median, base) 40 day-old plants were adopted for liberation of adults. The 30 and 40 day-old plants were preferred for oviposition, the densities of 100 adults per plants ensured the number of eggs enough to discriminate common beans genotypes with different whitefly resistance degrees, and apical region of plant were preferred for whitefly egg laying and therefore more suitable for egg sampling in common bean plants.
