Carbofuran for Whitefly Control?

[Kiwi]

Please can carbofuran applied to soil control whiteflies successfully?

[Henlus]

You will need more than that to control whiteflies. Good insecticides include imidacloprid, abamectin, chlorfenapyr and emmamectin benzoate.

Thanks bro. Must I need all those insecticides? What if I use just 2.

[Henlus]

Yes u can use any 2 or 3 so far as their MOA numbers are different. During flowering, it is best to use emmamectin benzoate and Chlorfenapyr because they pose less risk to beneficial insects like bees and pest predators. Other low risk pesticides include acetamiprid, spiromesin, Thiamethoxam etc.

Please note that carbofuran have been banned. What you see in the market are fake! Totally useless. Use chlorpyrifos granules instead.
