Includes reference.

The population density and relative susceptibility of cucumber, Cucumis sativis L. (var., Kotia,Passandra, Nile and Asna) and common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. (var., Novax, Kentackey Wonder and A Slin Wonder) to infestation with the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) and the leafhopper, Empoasca decipiens (Paoli) under greenhouse conditions, were studied at the Experimental Research Center, EI-Minia University during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons.The average numbers of B. tabaci (nymph) was higher on cucumber and common bean varieties than E. decipiens through the two successive seasons.
