fear of mites spots everywhere

[pegz]

Yes, they are white flies... approx 1.5mm long, white wings and slightly yellow head and thorax.

 

 

+ 1 to white fly damage, those white spots on the leaves are tell tale.

 

Whatever you use to spray, make sure you keep it consistent

 

Uploading pics is a fucking pain on this site with its 56k dial up modem upload speeds.

Not a whitefly:

 

These things are much bigger than whiteflies and most importantly they do not lay eggs on the underside of leaves.

Geez man where do you live ? should be able to get a mobile stick or something nowadays ... i didnt think dial up still existed

[billygoat]

Best i can get is 3g or dial up.... And the 3g is questionable.... Sux, but hey i dont have any neighbours i can see or hear, fuck suburbia.

 

I even have to take my rubbish to the dump each week, no bin collection....

I don't have dial up, not since 2002 or something.

 

I was having trouble attaching that pic is all, I upload it 3 times or something.

 

/end rant.

All I will say is the damage on the foliage in the pictures posted in the first pic resemble white fly damage, i never said they were white flies. 

 

I personally see 0 webbing

thanks a bunch guys! +1 for fucking suburbia haha I didn't really get a chance to play with them or go to bunnings had an awesome day at the EGA symposium. first thing tomorrow is bunnings gonna pick me up some eco neem and fungicide. I did catch those 2 black spots in the pic which is what got me a little worried in the first place and of course the beautiful foliage being made not so attractive. I have no experience with these products (neem/eco) and will be doing some research on it now, majority are saying to spray so im guessing theres is no (toxic) problem misting the plants with these products or do I apply to the soil as well. Once again thank you for pointing me in the right direction ill be sure to update ps the plants thank you too 2  edit: pegz those pictures did take me a lot longer than usual I have one of the fastest net speeds in au definitely but im a patient man and don't mind haha

Eco Oil and Eco Neem are different products, only the Eco Oil is registered for use on food crops.

Thanks Louise yes I would much prefer to go the food friendly route before even considering other toxic options

[wannagrowbuds]

The eco oil did nothing for me on chilli plants for green caterpillars, they just kept munching away. May still help with your problem though.

I may also pick up some of that Yates success just in case or maybe to alternate with we'll see
