| The research aimed to determine the performance level of the respondents administrating the private agricultural sector companies for integrated control recommendations of whitefly that infects vegetable crops from the respondents’ and farmer's point of view. The research was conducted in Beheira governorate. Data was collected from two samples: a sample of the studied crops farmers, with a total of 381 respondents, and the second from the administrators of management of private agricultural sector companies, with a total of 115 respondents, by using two questionnaires with personal interview, during August and September 2021. Tables, percentages, and arithmetic mean were used to data analysis and presentation. The most important results were as follows: The vast majority of administrators of private agricultural sector companies respondents (92.1%) believe that they provide awareness to farmers about the recommendations of the whitefly integrated control with a high degree, compared to 59.9% of the respondents of farmers. Nearly three-fifths of the administrators of private agricultural sector companies’ respondents (56.6%) believe that they train farmers on the recommendations of the white fly pest integrated control with an average degree, compared to 47.5% of the respondents of farmers. A little more than half of the administrators of private agricultural sector companies’ respondents (50.5%) believe that their performance degree of following up the farmers' implementation of the recommendations of the whitefly pest integrated control activity was moderate compared to 34.8 % of the respondents of farmers | ||
