White flies

[Hakamo0o]

Hello,

For sometime I couldn't identify that insect but now I am sure it is a white fly, I have White Flies on the back of my leaves!! I thought the Nicotine should kill them off but they are increasing!

What should I do?
And are they harmful to Tobacco?

New born aphids will look white .

hey, that's what i have too! mine are just in the green stage still

They feed on the plant's juices, so how could I treat them without harming my tobacco plant?

For starters, I would try mixing 2 Tablespoons of liquid soap with 1 gallon of water and spray. Go back a few days later and spray again. Not too sure if it will kill white-fly's ( it does aphids) but I suspect it will. You could even try 4 tablespoons for soap, but best to start out on the low side to make sure you do not damage your plants.

I would have guessed aphids too, but it appears as if White fly is a problem in your neck of the woods

Everyone who suggested soap is on the right path. You might want to try washing them off first, then apply the soap spray along with Yellow sticky traps.
