Greenhouse whitefly factsheets 1-4, 2009: The Fresh Tomato Product Group of Horticulture New Zealand has been involved since early 2008 in a MAF Sustainable Farming Fund Project for the development of a series of factsheets to “Document new procedures for Whitefly Control (in New Zealand Greenhouses under Integrated Crop Management practices)”. The aim was to identify the latest available information from around the world and from within New Zealand on the management and control of greenhouse whitefly and to produce it in a series of four easy to read factsheets. A team of five industry consultants led by a contracted technical publications specialist have been working on the project for the past eighteen months. This project is now finally complete and the set of four factsheets are below:
