Target Pest Information

Whitefly

(Bemisia tabaci)

Whiteflies are sap-feeding insects that weaken plants by removing nutrients and producing honeydew, which promotes sooty mould growth. Heavy infestations can reduce crop quality, stunt growth and transmit plant diseases. Whiteflies are a major pest in greenhouse vegetable, ornamental and cannabis production.

Two-Spotted Spider Mite

(Tetranychus urticae)

Two-spotted spider mites feed on plant cells, causing stippling, yellowing and reduced photosynthetic activity. Severe infestations can lead to leaf drop, plant stress and reduced yields. Their rapid reproduction makes early intervention critical for successful management.
