Tomatoes are one of the main horticultural crops of the Region of Murcia and whiteflies are one of its main threats, mostly due to the damage they cause when feeding and, above all, for transmitting viruses.
Consequently, the Council of Water, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of Murcia has successfully carried out a test through the Murcian Institute for Agricultural Research and Development and Food (IMIDA) with the use of bottle gourd as a trap for whiteflies on the sides of greenhouses.
