*What are Whiteflies?* Whiteflies are small, winged insects with soft bodies, belonging to the order Hemiptera, which also includes aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects. Despite their name, whiteflies are not true flies but have wings and the ability to fly. Common species of whiteflies include the greenhouse whitefly, banded-winged whitefly, giant whitefly, cabbage whitefly, citrus whitefly, and silverleaf whitefly. #How to Identify Whiteflies Adult whiteflies measure about 1/16 inch in length and have a moth-like appearance with powdery white wings and short antennae. They are commonly found on the upper sides of leaves or at the ends of plant . Heavy feeding by whiteflies can severely weaken plants, hindering their ability to photosynthesize. Symptoms include wilting leaves that turn pale or yellow, stunted growth, and, ultimately, leaf shriveling and dropping. The presence of honeydew—a sticky substance secreted by feeding whiteflies—indicates prolonged feeding activity. This honeydew can also attract ants. *What Plants are Susceptible to Whiteflies?* Whiteflies feed on a diverse range of plants, including ornamental flowers and warm-season vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and okra. They can also affect cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and squash. Certain species are known to target specific plants, such as the cabbage whitefly, which feeds on brassicas like cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli, as well as citrus trees and sweet potatoes.. *How to Control White Flies Effectively* 1. Monitoring and Control: Yellow sticky traps are effective for tracking and reducing the populations of adult pests. 2. Physical Removal: If pests are detected, use a Bug Blaster to spray plants with a strong jet of water, helping to decrease their numbers. 3. Beneficial Predators: Natural predators such as ladybugs, green lacewing larvae (which feed on pest eggs), and whitefly parasites (which target nymphs and pupae) can help manage pest populations. It's best to release these predators when pest levels are low to moderate. 4. Attracting Natural Predators: Hummingbirds also serve as natural predators for whiteflies. Creating habitats that attract dragonflies or hummingbirds can aid in pest control. 5. Pesticide Use: In cases of high pest populations, apply a least-toxic, short-lived organic pesticide to gain initial control, followed by the release of predatory insects to sustain it. However, avoid using insecticides after releasing beneficial insects, as whiteflies often develop resistance, and insecticides can harm these natural predators.eg Organophosphate,cartap hydroxide,spinosad etc 6. Reflective Mulch: Use aluminum reflective mulch early in the growing season, particularly around vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, to hinder whiteflies from locating their preferred hosts. 7. Safer® Soap: This fast-acting, short-lived natural pesticide effectively combats heavy infestations. It damages the protective outer layer of soft-bodied insects, leading to dehydration and death within hours. Mix 2.5 oz with a gallon of water and apply when pests are present, repeating every 7-10 days as necessary. 8. The biological insecticide contains Beauveria bassiana, a fungus that targets a wide range of crop pests, including resistant strains. Weekly applications can prevent population surges and offer protection that rivals or exceeds that of conventional chemical pesticides. 9. Neem Oil: Organic Neem Oil can be sprayed on vegetables, fruit trees, and flowers to eliminate eggs, larvae, and adult pests. Mix 2/3 ml with a liter of water and thoroughly spray all leaf surfaces, including the undersides, until they are completely wet.

*Sweet Potato Weevil Management.* 1. *Control sweet Potato Weevil Host plants.* Sweet Potato Weevil attack other plants in the sweet potato family, including morning glory (Ipomoea). Managing morning glory (Ipomoea) in sweet potato is difficult because they belong to one family. Herbicide that will effectively control morning glory will damage sweet potato. An option is to use *Tornado 540®* (3 l/ha) before planting of sweet potato. 2. *Use Insecticides.* *a). Solution 1* Planting materials (vines) are dipped into *Tanrek 500* insecticide prior to planting, which delay pest infestation for several months. Mix *Tanrek 500* (0,4 ml/1L or 4ml/10L water). Soak vines for 15 minutes, drain and then plant. *b). Solution 2* Apply *Tanrek 500®* as a soil drench at root zone immediately after planting or a day after transplanting. Mix 7ml *Tanrek 500®* with 20L of water and apply 100ml of this mixture to the soil around the base of the stem of each plant. Repeat when needed (usually 28 days after) at the base of the plant. *C). Solution 3:* Spray with *Diperall* and or *Borey* if damage occurs at the crown area of the vines (i.e., the part just above ground level). Dosage: 150 ml/ha (10 ml / 16L knapsack) *Prices* : Tornado 540 : $12.00/L Tanrek 500 : $12.00/250ml or $33.00/1L Diperall : $9.00 / 250ml Borey : $10.00 /250ml or $31.00 / 1L Products are available at: Farmbiz- NTS, Farmshop, Amtec Agro, Winpat, Farmer's Choice, TRB Shops, Total Farm Shop, CropCare, Omnia, Freshpicks Nursery & Tiger Agrochem office. https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaZfq8PEVccG1wkteG0Z
