The greenhouse whitefly was recently found to be a major pest on strawberries in California. We tested chloronicotinoids Admire and Platinum and insect growth regulators Applaud and Knack against this pest on summer-planted strawberries under field conditions. Our results indicated that these chloronicotinoids and insect growth regulators had great and significant activities against the whiteflies.
