control several species of whitefly indoors and outdoors. They can
control silverleaf/sweet potato whitefly with increased quantity
releases. Like with most beneficial insects it is best to begin
releasing Encarsia when Whitefly infestation is light.
Other whitefly predators such as; Delphastus catalinae (beetle) and Eretmocerus eremicus will co-exist with Encarsia formosa and help expedite control.
