Definitie & Betekenis van "greenhouse whitefly"

What is a "greenhouse whitefly"?

A greenhouse whitefly is a small, sap-sucking insect with white wings that is commonly found in greenhouses and indoor gardens. It feeds on the sap of plants, causing damage and transmitting plant diseases. The adult whiteflies lay their eggs on the undersides of leaves, and the nymphs that hatch from these eggs can quickly infest a plant. The presence of greenhouse whiteflies can lead to stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and the production of sticky honeydew. Effective pest management strategies are often employed to control and minimize their population in greenhouse environments.
