Effectiveness of Methanol Extracts from Mexican Leaf (Tithonia diversifolia) and Jicama Seeds (Pachyrhizus erosus) in Controlling Silverleaf Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) on Tomato Plants

Mexican leaf and jicama seeds can effectively manage the silverleaf whitefly, a common agricultural pest.
The findings of this paper are highly relevant to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 15: Life on Land by minimizing harm to non-target insects and the wider ecosystem.
The authors successfully demonstrated that methanol extracts from both the Mexican leaf and jicama seeds are effective in controlling the silverleaf whitefly.
