#Koolwittevlieg #Plagen #Boerenkool #Palmkool #Spruitkool #Savooiekool The white fly (Aleyrodes proletella) is a small white fly of 1.5 mm long. This fly is somewhat larger than the version that poses a threat in the greenhouses and has 4 grey spots on the wings. The eggs are laid at the bottom of the leaves of the kale which makes any spraying difficult. We also discovered them in the district garden on kale, and also to a lesser extent on palm cabbage, sprout cabbage and savoy cabbage. Because we use organic gardening in the neighbourhood garden, we do not use pesticides. Prevent? You can regularly check and remove the buds of the plants if they are affected by the whitfly. Make sure that you do not throw the affected leaves on the compost heap, but in the GFT container. The whitfly hates (high) africans, if you plant them simultaneously with the cabbage plants you probably won't have a problem. (Tip; put them in the other cabbage plants as well). You could possibly tighten insect mesh. The natural enemy of the cabbage whitefly is the stalk wasp (Encarsia formosa). There are tickets with parasitized dolls in the trade. They can also be ordered for the private person at the webshop of entocare. If the evil has already been done? Adhesive tapes, such as the rolls against house flies, can attract and stick flies. With a vacuum cleaner, flies can be sucked up. Put the plucked leaves in salt water and away the flies. It is also recommended to rinse with lukewarm water, and freeze for a while to kill the bugs. The shareholders usually take a meal for themselves and let the rest of the plant grow. We must therefore adapt this and harvest and clean up the plants one by one before the winter is over. If you take away their nursery, it becomes harder for the whitfly to survive in the winter.

Kale With Whitefly

the Washing Machine. Last week I successfully followed the tip to wash the kale in the washing machine. Below I will tell you how I did that.

First of all, I washed my washing machine at 90 degrees because it's all about food, and that it's important that the machine is clean.

Kale harvested and cut off the leaves of the stem, and cut out equally to remove as many flies as possible. The bottom of the leaf was very full of dolls and mold so I didn't want to remove the stems first. Next time I'll try it anyway because there can be more in the washing machine.
