To combat whiteflies, you can use not only chemicals but also folk remedies. The advantage of the latter is their safety for people, animals, and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most effective folk methods for combating whiteflies:
Manual pest collection. This method is labor-intensive, but it can be effective if you don’t have too many whiteflies on your plants.
Using beneficial insects. Ladybugs and snails are natural enemies of whiteflies and will help get rid of the pest.
Using protective nets. Fine-mesh nets prevent whiteflies from landing on plants.
Treating plants with infusions and solutions.
Folk remedy recipes:
Ash infusion. Infuse a glass of ash in three liters of water for three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spray the plants once every 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ammonia solution. Dissolve one tablespoon of ammonia in 10 liters of water. Spray the plants no more than once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vinegar solution. Dissolve 50 ml of apple cider vinegar and 30 g of soap shavings in 10 liters of water. Spray the plants once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garlic or onion infusion. Infuse 100 g of crushed garlic or onion sprouts in five liters of water for seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spray the plants once every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tobacco infusion. Pour 200 g of tobacco into one liter of water and let it steep for two days. Spray the plants once every 15 days as a preventative measure or daily for three days as a treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A soap and soda solution. Dissolve two tablespoons of liquid soap, six tablespoons of baking soda, and two teaspoons of iodine in one liter of warm water, then add 10 liters of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spray the plants generously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preventive measures:
Timely weed removal. Weeds can provide shelter for whiteflies.
Regular watering. Whiteflies prefer humid conditions, so it is important not to overwater the soil.
Greenhouse ventilation.
Use of whitefly-resistant plant varieties.
Important!
Traditional methods for controlling whiteflies can only be effective in the early stages of the infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the infestation has spread widely, chemicals cannot be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
