Abstract

Whiteflies are very small insects (1.5-2 mm), resembling microscopic moths. The wings and body are covered with white powdery pollen. They reproduce sexually, the eggs are attached to the underside of the leaves, on the stems. They hibernate in the puparia phase (pupa) on fallen leaves, in cracks and hollows of trees. The development is complicated: the larvae of the first age are mobile, the next stages are immobile. The larvae then develop into a pupa (puparium). One generation develops within 1 month. In greenhouses it can breed all year round and give 8-10 generations.
