 Re: White Fly .
I have had a horrendous white fly problem this season in the greenhouse!
Everything covered especially the tomatoes, the undersides of the leaves were completly covered, and spraying did no good!
In the end I had to strip all the leaves off the plants!
Used Pravada, homemade garlic spray, washingup liquid and also profession concretated nicotine liquid from the labs in work, nothing had the slightest effect on the beasts!
Only one spray of each on the tomato plants, but gace the ornemantal plants a couple of sprays of each, without any success!
The brassicas in the allotment were and are still covered with a multitude!
Ps What is savona? Have googled the name and come up with a town in Italy!
Cheers!

Re: White Fly We've had masses all summer and we still have them. The enviromesh could do nothing against these quantities and they are not only all over the brassicas, but on weeds, just hanging around on the soil surface and even on the leeks! The one thing they've not touched is the tomatoes, either indoor or outdoor!

Re: White Fly Judging by the thousands I've eaten and preserved, nothing! I had over 150 plants outside and another dozen inside with not a single whitefly whereas everything else has been smothered. Just touching the soil around the brassicas and leeks caused clouds of the damn things. I haven't sprayed the tomatoes with anything, I just don't understand  but I'm not complaining either

Re: White Fly I thought that greenhouse/tomato whitefly and cabbage whitefly were quite different beasts ? So not so surprising that the cabbage whitefly are not interested in tomatoes.

So not so surprising that the cabbage whitefly are not interested in tomatoes. As I've said more than once - for example, here viewtopic.php?p=97352#p97352The confusion seems to continue, though.

Re: White Fly I wouldn't disagree, it's usually blackfly on the tomatoes. What sort of whitefly likes leeks?
