Hi
Often lurk on this group but seldom post but now need
a little help.
Have a 12ft x 6ft leanto greenhouse at rear of the house
facing due south,each yr I do a dozen tomatoe plants
in pots plus other seed//plants.
Last year I was plagued with white fly on toms and fuchsia
plants despite constant spraying with any of the following
(not mixing of course)
Bio sprayday
Bio longlast
Sybol
plus having several of the yellow sticky strips hanging about.
White fly started again this year on the fuchsia plants that were
over wintered and at this time I've started spraying with Sybol
(third time this this year in last few weeks) gets rid of them for
a week then notice them again.
Doing just as recommended on the packet.
So anyone with other methods or cures for the sods ??
been told marigolds in pots will help,also garlic cloves ??
anyone please.

If you are ok with an nonorganic solution you could try Provado
Ultimate Bug Killer Concentrate, also available as a ready to use
spray. Will give a long period of protection

Does work but not sure you should use it on edibles.

Charlie - it is ok to use the Provado Ultimate Bug Killer on Tomatoes,
Peppers and Aubergines under glass. That is the only approval it has
for edible crops. No approval for outdoor use. As the OP is refering
to glass house, thought it worth while

I use intercept occasionally for conservatory climbers(I thought it was the
same stuff and it says not to use on edible crops) but you are almost
certainly more up to speed on these things than me and I am happy to stand
corrected :~)
Still think I will stick to isolating toms from the worst white fly martyrs!
