Sažetak
All developmental stages of the tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) were found for the first time in Montenegro (Podgorica) in the middle of May in 2008 on the Hibiscus sp. in Podgorica. In order to determine the presence of B. tabaci on other locations and host plants, visual examinations in greenhouses and open fields were conducted in the area of inland (Podgorica) and coastal (Bar, Tivat and Ulcinj) Montenegro, during 2008 – 2011 on ornamentals and vegetables. Lower side of the leaves was examined to find out whether pre-adult stages of B. tabaci were present. The presence of B. tabaci was confirmed in the greenhouses in Podgorica (during the whole monitoring period), Bar, Ulcinj and Radanovići (Tivat). B. tabaci was found on nine ornamentals, belonging to five botanical families: Hibiscus sp. and Abutilon sp. (Malvaceae) ; Lippia citriodora, Lantana camara, Tumbergia sp. and Verbena sp. (Verbenaceae), Euphorbia pulcherrima (Euphorbiaceae) ; Gerbera jamesonii (Asteraceae) and Dipladenia sanderi (Apocynaceae) ; on a weed species – Sonchus oleraceus (Asteraceae). In vegetables, it was found exclusively on melon – Cucumis melo (Cucurbitaceae), in the fall of 2011 in an open field near Ulcinj, while in greenhouses, B. tabaci was never found on vegetables.
