Still have whiteflies
"Marie Dodge" wrote in message ... OK guys, my tomatoes are still covered with whitefly and their small green babies that look like minute aphids. My friend, looking at them today, said she believes they also have spider mites. Her eyesight is better than mine. The NeemOil did almost nothing nor did the Seven dust or Malathion or Bug-Be-Gone. I also sprayed the garden with 1 Tbs. Epsom Salt per gallon of water and if anything, the failed peppers and infested tomatoes look worse today. Any suggestions to save our crops this year? I found Sevin liquid concentrate 1 tablespoon per quart of water in a spray bottle works OK. The spray leaves a chalky residue on the leaves that dissipates in a couple of weeks. I'm real keen now on how to identify, locate, search and destroy crop infesting parasites. For instance I found a small worn camping out in a corn silk that would eventually turn into a big ugly. The first clue was some small tender leaves that had been chewed. |
