The goal in silverleaf whitefly (SLWF) management is to initiate control measures just prior to the period of most rapid pest population development. Routine sampling is required to identify the rate of SLWF population increase. IPM principles and practices such as conservation of beneficial insects should be employed to delay population buildup. A well-timed initial SLWF insecticide application will pay significant economic dividends in reducing overall insecticide inputs and plant injury.. whitefly, .
