Frost can be called a useful "resource" for pest control, and whitefly is one of them.
As the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained, in some cases it is possible to fight parasites by digging up the area to turn over the top layer of soil.
It is true that if you expose the pests to severe frost, the low temperatures will kill them. But this method may not be effective now.
Therefore, we suggest that you look for other ways to combat whiteflies.
So, to begin with, let us remember that this pest, like others, can live in untreated plant debris lying in the garden and on the beds.
Therefore, as soon as the snow melts and you have the opportunity to “comb” your property, carry out treatment using Trichoderma.
For greater effectiveness, you can add beauveria, which also helps reduce the number of whiteflies.
So don't waste time: the more effort you put in now to get rid of whiteflies, the less problems they will cause you in the future.
