Among the insect pests that can affect bean culture, the white fly is characterized as one of
the main ones, providing great losses of productivity. Thus, the objective of this work was to
evaluate the susceptibility of twenty genotypes of bush bean to the whitefly in an organic crop
system. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station of Emater de Anápolis-GO
under normal field conditions, from April to June 2016. Adult whitefly was counted in ten plants
per plot, evaluating one trifolium per plant, turning The sheet is made the visual analysis of the
adult making the count of it. Of the 20 genotypes evaluated, eight of them presented differences
in the evaluations performed, and the Kentuchy wonder bush was the most susceptible to
pest incidence, and the Jade and Strike genotypes are the least susceptible.
