Whitefly are small, winged insects that belong to the family Aleyrodidae. They are typically found on the undersides of leaves and feed on plant sap, which can weaken plants and lead to yellowing leaves. Whiteflies are known for their rapid reproduction and can quickly become a pest in gardens and agricultural settings. These insects can also transmit plant viruses, making them a significant concern for farmers. Control methods include introducing natural predators, such as ladybugs, or using insecticidal soaps and oils. Proper management is essential to protect crops and maintain healthy plants.
