When grown in greenhouses the ornamental plants are subject to the damage by greenhouse whitefly. The growers have to control greenhouse whitefly continuously. By testing the insecticides mixtures called Admiral, Aktara and Fitoverm we managed to eliminate greenhouse whitefly completely in some greenhouses of Botanical Garden of Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The principal advantage of this control method is no need of repeated treatments.
