Whitefly- organic control (if any)?
Would organic controls for aphids (predators where possible and spraying with
soap solution) be effective for whitefly- or do I need other strategies? -- VX (remove alcohol for email) |

If your whitefly problems are only just beginning (ie. you are only seeing a sporadic appearance of the adults with no juveniles on the lower leaves), then a weekly application of a sufactant product would be the best strategy to control things. SB Plant Invigorator is currently having some very good reviews at the moment. |

They are related to each others and I treat them in the same way - I zap them off the leaves and branches with my hose pipes, spray soapy water on them or rub them off with my finger and cut branches/leaves which are heavily infected. I actually find whiteflies easier to knock off their perches - perhaps their larger wings destabilise them :o) |
