Whiteflies in Greenhouses: Impacts and Innovative Control Strategies
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.
