In Mexico, one of the main pests that compromise the yield of horticultural crops is the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci); today, to control it, sustainable alternatives are sought that do not put the assets of agricultural producers at risk. The objective of the present investigation was to carry out a comparison of the biological effectiveness and yield of tomato fruit, using entomopathogenic fungi, neem extracts and a combination of entomopathogenic fungi with neem extracts in two sites in Guasave, Sinaloa, during the cycle. AW 2021-2022. To achieve this, a Completely Randomized Block Design (DBCA) was established with three repetitions. The response variable was the biological effectiveness of biorational insecticides on populations of adults, nymphs and whitefly eggs in each of the treatments. From the above, it appears that the highest percentage of reduction was in T5 where the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana combined with neem extract was applied, with a 90.31% reduction in the Experimental Field of the Association of Farmers of the Sinaloa River Poniente A.C., T5 was statistically different (p<0.05) compared to the other treatments. The average fruit yield was statistically different between the two study sites. Based on the above, biorational insecticides are a viable option for whitefly control without compromising crop performance.
