The second, which is known as “indirect” damage, is caused by the whitefly adults. They can transmit several viruses from diseased to healthy plants through their mouthparts.

These small sucking insects have developed resistance to many synthetic pesticides making chemical control difficult. Here’s how to get rid of whitefly using proven, organic techniques.

Pre-bloom feeding deforms blossoms and leaves, reducing fruit set or weakening the fruit so it is more susceptible to frost and temperature stresses. Thrips also spoil fruit finish by rasping the surface while feeding and by puncturing the fruit while laying eggs.

The western flower thrips [Frankliniella occidentalis ] is an important pest insect in agriculture. This species of thrips is native to the Southwestern United States but has spread to other continents

Scale insects feed by sucking sap from trees and shrubs through piercing-sucking mouth parts. Sap feeding by scale insects may cause yellowing or wilting of leaves

The scale insects are small insects of the order Hemiptera, suborder Sternorrhyncha. They comprise the superfamily Coccoidea, previously placed in the now obsolete group called "Homoptera". There are about 8,000 described species of scale insects.

In addition to the sooty mold, plant damage is caused by the mealybugs sucking plant sap and the pests' toxic saliva, both resulting in distorted plant growth and premature leaf drop. Plant leaves also develop yellow chlorotic spots.

Mealybugs are insects in the family Pseudococcidae, unarmored scale insects found in moist, warm climates

A leaf miner is the larva of an insect that lives in and eats the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths

# data[].attributes.body
Damage can be limited in initial stages of infestations but increase as leafminer numbers multiply, and even minor infestations, while not killing a plant, will cripple its hardines

Fungus gnats are small, dark, short-lived gnats, of the families Sciaridae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae, Bolitophilidae, and Mycetophilidae; they comprise 6 of the 7 families placed in the superfamily Sciaroidea

# data[].attributes.body
Adult fungus gnats do not cause direct damage to plants, but are considered a nuisance pest to consumers. In addition, adults and larvae have been implicated in the transmission of plant fungal diseases, including Thielaviopsis, Pythium, Verticillium, and Fusarium.

Caterpillars are the larval stage of members of the order Lepidoptera. As with most common names, the application of the word is arbitrary and the larvae of sawflies commonly are called caterpillars as well

large populations can turn leaves yellow and stunt shoots; aphids can also produce large quantities of a sticky exudate known as honeydew, which often turns black with the growth of a sooty mold fungus. Some aphid species inject a toxin into plants, which causes leaves to curl and further distorts growth.

Aphids, also known as plant lice and in Britain and the Commonwealth as greenflies, blackflies, or whiteflies, are small sap-sucking insects and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea
