Vibrations as an innovative tool for pest management of whitefly in greenhouse production

ProblemGreenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) is a major pest, causing direct damage and spreading viruses. The widespread use of synthetic pesticides leads to resistance and environmental harm. SolutionA vibrational device emits targeted noise through plants, disrupting whitefly mating signals to reduce pest populations without synthetic pesticides. BenefitsIt is an effective, non-toxic control strategy suitable for organic and conventional management. It is a long-term investment that requires installing the device and low energy.
