✦ Synopsis
Fourteen cultivars, one Ft-hybrid and one half-wild type (Cind) of sweet pepper were tested on resistance to glasshouse whitefly. Several mutually significant levels of resistance were found. Most resistant appeared to be 'California Wonder', 'Severka M', 'Koral' and 'Yolo Wonder'. During the test sweet pepper plants were infested both with whiteflies and their parasite -Encarsia formosa, which caused the blackening of whitefly puparia. The blackened puparia are easily seen, enabling an easier and more rapid evaluation of the number of puparia present.
