Can anybody tell me that how to control the white flys in the gerbera farm?
I fought with those things all year last year. I finally got off the soap and alcohol mix and went with something akin to what you have. It controlled them much better.


I will tell you that I started to get them soon after I did some pruning on the suckers of my tomato plants. I guess it could have been coincidence but I plan on making a paste to brush over those exposed areas where I pinch or cut off the suckers next year.
Reply:It was my opinion that white flies were controlled simply by hosing them off the plants.
Reply:There does not appear to be a control better than what you are using.

Very well, white fly is very difficult to control, you have to try everything available to you. Soap solution is okay, mix with it "Neem tea". Sock about 1 kg of Neem leaves in 4 liters of water for at the list 24 hours (mother tincture - if kept properly will last for 3 to 4 months). Make about 5% solution by mixing with water and spray regularly on your plants, especially under the leaves. You may add 1/2 kg garlic cloves to the mother tincture simply by smashing them.





Make smoking arrangments by burning dried cow-dung and placing dried 'Tulsi' (Holy Basil) leaves over it. Keep it fuming amongst your plants when weather is clam and not raining . Works better.

A better way to control them is to cover your soil with 2 inches of sand. The emerging larvae and pupae will not be able to crawl up to the surface and die.


Second idea is to set up more than several sticky traps if you are in a greenhouse, like one sticky trap per foot. The sticky traps will catch all flying insects besides the whiteflies.


Those suggestions plus the insecticide may help your problem better than just the insecticide alone.
