In June, the whitefly boldly attacks vegetable gardens and destroys the future harvest. Getting rid of it is difficult, but possible. The author of the Ukrainian YouTube channel “My Dacha, Garden, City and All Dovkola Nikh” shared his own experience in combating the pest.
Preparation for processing late cabbage
“This whitefly is all over the garden again. On cabbage, peppers, and tomatoes. I’ll tell you what effective drugs work best,” he noted.
The gardener explained that he used to use the Teppeki insecticide, but now the original drug is difficult to find because it has begun to be counterfeited.
“For the second year now, I have been buying the drug Temp. It contains the same active ingredient. It works on whiteflies, aphids, and thrips. You can also work on strawberries. This is a fairly necessary drug, and it does not let us down,” said the gardener.
Preparation for protecting early cabbage
Contact insecto-acaricidal preparation without chemical pesticides and waiting period “Silker” will protect early cabbage from the pest.
“If you have early cabbage and it is already starting to set, you can use “Silker”. What is its advantage? There is no waiting period, but you need at least six hours left before rain. If rain is expected, then we do not treat it. This is how we work with whitefly. It is already starting, so you need not to delay it,” the blogger advised.
