Physical and biological barriers were established in a Solanum melongena (L.) crop to study the effect against Bemisia spp.The barriers were: Tagetes-sorghum, Tagetes, yellow traps and sorghum. The study was conducted in the San Nicos farmlocated in km 10, road 20 at the Culiacan Valley, Sinaloa, Mexico during the agricultural cycle 2001-2002. A randomizedcomplete block design with subsampling and five replications was used. Populations of adults, nymphs and eggs wereevaluated. Analysis of variance and tests for mean comparisons were used. Data in the field and laboratory were takenduring five weeks on March 25, and April, 1, 8, 15 and 22.In the adult stage, the barrier Tagetes-sorghum was the besttreatment during the five dates, the next best treatment was the yellow treatment and Tagetes and the last treatment wassorghum. In the nymph stage, the best treatment was Tagetes-sorghum, while in second place were the yellow traps whichwere not significantly different from Tagetes and sorghum. In the egg stage, the first place was Tagetes-sorghum, in secondplace yellow traps, followed by Tagetes and sorghum. The biological barrier Tagetes-sorghum was the best and helped toreduce the withefly populations, therefore it can be used successfully as an alternative in pest integrated management.
