Whiteflies are small white-winged and yellow-backed insects whose body size usually does not exceed 3 millimeters.
However, you should not be deceived by the appearance of the above-described parasites, because they can cause significant damage to your summer cottage.
Whiteflies feed on the juices of garden crops, both in adult and larval states. At the same time, these insects are very prolific.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to protect your plot and harvest from this parasite.
According to the expert, preparations made from the beauveria fungus are effective in combating whiteflies.
This mushroom is not dangerous for humans or garden plants at all. It poses a threat exclusively to parasitic insects.
Beauveria-based preparations should be used once. They are suitable for spraying crops growing in a greenhouse.
If we are talking about plants affected by whiteflies planted in open ground, the pest control procedure can be repeated after heavy rains.
