A very similar homemade, natural pesticide to the oil spray is a soap spray, which is also effective for controlling spider mites, aphids, scale crawlers, mealybugs, whiteflies, beetles, and other hungry insects. To make a basic soap spray insecticide, mix one and one-half teaspoons of mil...
Integrated Pest Management of insects includes several control tactics, such as the use of photoselective nets, which may reduce the flight activity of insects. Limiting the dispersal of pests such as aphids and whiteflies is important because of their major role as vectors of plant viruses, while...

Two predators and two parasitoids have potential as biological agents for S. exigua suppression in the field. However, insecticide use can greatly suppress the populations of natural enemies, lowering their biological control potential17,18. Presently, relatively little is known about the susceptibility...
