Cabbage Whitefy

[Maydup]

How do I treat cababge whitefly ogranically?

If heard of boiling up rhubarb leaves and spraying them with it, but I don't have any rhubarb leaves.

Any other ideas?

(I have plenty of the blighters on the underside of all of my broccolli plants)

Thanks A - I have tried wiping them off and shaking the leaves. I will trying spraying the underside with water too.

The hoover idea is interesting - I used to have one in the shed but I think I chucked it out - I'll have a look.

I spray whitefly with a strong dilution of soap and water,( usually soapflakes dissolved in hot water) and spray liberally when the little blighters are seen. This certainly seems to help

Regular spraying thoroughly with hose should do it.

Thanks all - I'll wait for the sun to go down and get spraying with my hose pipe and tomorrow I'll look out for some soap wash or flakes just in case.
