Association of plant phenotypic characters viz., leaf size, leaf thickness, glabracity, trichome length and leaf colour with the incidence of Bemisia tabaci growth stages i.e. adults, eggs, nymphs and pupae was studied on 12 genotypes of urdbean. The leaf size, leaf thickness, glabracity and trichome length showed positive correlation. The leaf colour did not show any effect on growth stages of whitefly.
