Whiteflies feed by tapping into the phloem of plants, introducing toxic saliva and decreasing the plants' overall turgor pressure. Since whiteflies congregate in large numbers, susceptible plants can be quickly overwhelmed. Further harm is done by mold growth encouraged by the honeydew whiteflies secrete. This may also seriously impede the ...
Whiteflies go through egg, nymph, and adult stages. You likely won’t see their teeny eggs on the undersides of leaves. Once hatched, the nymph stages are about 1/32-inch long and attach to the ...

Like various other whiteflies, it is a primary insect pest of many fruit, vegetable and ornamental crops. It is frequently found in glasshouses (greenhouses), polytunnels, and other protected horticultural environments. Adults are 1–2 mm in length, with yellowish bodies and four wax-coated wings held near parallel to the leaf surface. [1]
Aleurodicus dispersus, the spiralling whitefly, is a species of small, white sap-sucking insect, a true bug in the order Hemiptera.It originated in Central America and the Caribbean region and has spread to many of the world's tropical and subtropical regions, where it has become a major pest of agricultural crops.
Introducing insects that feed on whiteflies such as Lacewings, Ladybugs, Big-eyed bugs and Minute pirate bugs are possible solutions for controlling Aleurotrachelus atratus for agriculture purposes. An alternative control management is using parasites that feed on whiteflies such as the species Encarsia formosa wasps, or Eretmocerus cocois Sp.
