In Syria, potatoes are usually infested with whiteflies, such as the sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). The occurrence of a Q biotype of B. Tabaci, which were collected in potato fields in Syria was reported. The identification of the biotype was confirmed by mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (mtCOI) sequence analysis. The occurrence of whiteflies was observed in all of the 11 potato fields investigated from early September 2006, when investigations in Syria began, to early November 2006, just before harvest. The cultivation system of potato investigated in this study is generally called 'Autumn culture potato' because these are planted in August and harvested in November
