Whitefly on tomatoes. Methods of struggle

If you suddenly found out that a whitefly on tomatoes appeared in your garden, do not let things go by themselves. Whitefly is an insect that harms not only tomatoes. "Under the hot hand" can get and other vegetables, as well as greens and flowers.

Whitecaps are small, not more than 3 mm in length, flies having wings covered with an old coating. They plant the plant in large quantities. The largest accumulation, as a rule, is on the underside of the leaf. The main harm caused by a whitefly on tomatoes is the feces that it leaves on the leaf, usually on its upper part. Initially, they look like a brilliant coating. Later in places covered with such a touch, sooty mushrooms are formed, which are first white, and then black.

The fight against whitefly on tomatoes begins with the prevention of its appearance. For this, plants that are threatened with whitefly infection are planted in well-ventilated places with a low temperature, possibly 14-15 degrees. Because the main reason for the appearance of an insect is a too close arrangement of plants in poorly ventilated places with high temperature and humidity.

If plantations have already inhabited a whitefly, the control measures must be persistent. To begin with, if the plants are inhabited by adult midges, it is necessary to place nearby glue traps. Suitable commercially available adhesive tapes for flies. You can make such traps yourself. To do this, pieces of cardboard or any other material color in a bright color, for example, yellow or white (as you draw the insects on the bait), and then lubricate the surface with castor oil or petroleum jelly. Insects, sitting on such a surface, will stick.

The next stage, due to which the whitefly on tomatoes will disappear - spraying plants using various chemicals. On the advice of experienced truck farmers, an effective folk remedy for combating the whitefly is from the pharmacy, for the treatment of scabies. To buy, of course, you need not an ointment, but an emulsion, which after dilution with water in a ratio of 30-50 grams of funds per liter of water will become a compound for spraying damaged plants. Do not forget to wash the insects with water and the plaque covering the leaves, only then proceed to the treatment. Spray the plants every few days until the whitefly on the tomatoes disappears completely.

Another popular remedy is the infusion of garlic. For its preparation, pour about 150 grams of garlic with a liter of water, close the lid with the lid with the compound and insist for 5 days. After this time, the product is ready. Dilute about 6 grams of infusion with a liter of water and spray the plants with the same periodicity and in the same way as in the first case.

If folk remedies, which are rather soft, do not help, do not delay with complete cure and start treatment with pesticides. When choosing a drug, carefully study the instructions for use - not all products are safe for all plant species. Consider the location of your plantations: some tools are recommended for indoor use, and some in the open space. The method of use for different drugs is different: some are applied once, while others require a course of procedures.
