Whiteflies pose a serious threat to greenhouse crops, causing widespread damage. These tiny, sap-sucking insects cause direct damage, spread plant viruses, and leave sticky honeydew that promotes mold, leading to significant crop losses. We’ll trace the whitefly’s rapid life cycle, detail crop damage, emphasize early detection, outline effective prevention methods, and explore how artificial intelligence is transforming pest management. With this knowledge, you can protect greenhouse yields and foster sustainable production.

Internode length, the space between consecutive nodes on a plant stem, is a pivotal trait influencing plant architecture, resource transport, and reproductive success. Effective management of internode length can enhance light distribution, photosynthesis, and yield, particularly in greenhouse settings.

Foil tunnels, or polytunnels, provide growers with affordable, controlled environments that protect crops and improve yields. We explore their advantages over open-field farming, common challenges, and strategies like using cover crops to boost productivity and sustainability.
