Whiteflies

Identification: Tiny white flying insects on undersides of leaves.

Symptoms: Yellowing leaves, wilting, sticky residue (honeydew).

Control:

  • Yellow Sticky Traps: Catch adult whiteflies.

  • Neem Oil: Apply every 3-5 days to kill larvae and disrupt whitefly life cycles.

  • Predatory Insects: Introduce Encarsia formosa, a parasitic wasp that preys on whiteflies.

  • Companion Plants: Use nasturtiums or basil to deter whiteflies.

  • Mycoinsecticides: Apply Beauveria bassiana to naturally kill whiteflies.
