In Week 44 after the monitoring had concluded in all the bio greenhouses, I spent a week monitoring 10 greenhouses that had relied on pesticides for control. The results can be seen in Figure 4, which is the same graph as shown in Figure 1, but with one extra week added. The red crosses in Week 44 show the pattern of whitefly problems in non-biocontrol greenhouses. The similarity between Week 43 in biocontrol greenhouses and Week 44 shows that control using biocontrol in 2006 was comparable to the use of pesticides.
