White Fly does affect tobacco plants

[FALaholic]

Noticed some tiny holes in a few leaves. Looked underneath the leaves, found white fly.

I had quite a few of them. Did not notice any adverse effects. Maybe I was just lucky?

I think the larva is what does damage. Look for flea beattles.

I did find a couple single, what i presume to be, eggs. The white eggs I considered large, about 5 millimeters in diameter.That is all I have found, haven't seen any flea beetles.

The white, single eggs sounds like hornworm eggs laid by a moth. I could be wrong, I haven't seen white fly eggs that I knew them for what they were.

Yea the eggs are way to big to be white fly.

They will if it is green leaf. You can spot them by there crap on the floor.

One thing that I would like to point out. Seems that my larger mature plants are unaffected. I'm believing that the larger more mature plants have thicker leaves that the white fly can't penetrate.

And higher nicotine levels.
