The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is a well-known pest of vegetables and ornamental cash crops including tomato plant. Tomato plant disorders, in many instances, are related mostly with the silver leaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) feeding. It is well thought out that tomato plant is one of the most favorable host plants for the whitefly. Thus we aimed to study distinctive morphological characteristics of the leaves in seven selected tomato varieties including trichome density, trichome length, leaf lamina thickness and RGB value (red, green, blue) and HSB value (hue, saturation, brightness). Seven hybrid F1 tomato varieties such as TO-1057, TAI-1757, T‑1359, Advanta-1247, New Super, Sultan and Super were tested for the whitefly preferences. Our study suggests that T‑1359 is the highly preferred variety for the whitefly adults (5.32 ± 0.81) and nymphs (6.30 ± 1.13) population. In contrast, Advanta-1247 exhibits the lowest population of whitefly adults (2.71 ± 0.70) and nymphs (1.88 ± 0.43). This study systematically identifies the morphological characters of the tomato plants alongside the whitefly population. The study can be potentially extended to other crops as well.

用于确定烟粉虱（Amisrodidea：半翅目）的番茄不同品种特性的调查

粉虱（Bemisia tabaci）是一种常见的蔬菜和观赏经济作物（包括番茄）的害虫。在许多情况下，番茄植株的失调主要与银叶粉虱有关（Bemisia tabaci）喂食。众所周知，番茄植物是粉虱最有利的寄主植物之一。因此，我们旨在研究七个精选番茄品种叶片的独特形态特征，包括毛状体密度，毛状体长度，叶片薄层厚度以及RGB值（红色，绿色，蓝色）和HSB值（色相，饱和度，亮度）。测试了七个杂种F1番茄品种，例如TO-1057，TAI-1757，T‑1359，Advanta-1247，New Super，苏丹和Super的粉虱偏好。我们的研究表明，T‑1359是粉虱成虫（5.32±0.81）和若虫（6.30±1.13）种群的高度优选品种。相比之下，Advanta-1247的粉虱成虫（2.71±0.70）和若虫（1.88±0.43）的种群最少。该研究系统地鉴定了与粉虱种群并排的番茄植株的形态特征。该研究也可能扩展到其他农作物。
