Due to the fact that gerberas have very dense foliage, combating pest, and particularly whitefly, can be quite a challenge. While the number of available plant protection products keeps growing smaller, partly because of resistance, partly because of stricter policies concerning permitted products, the importance of spraying technology to gerbera cultivation is growing all the time.
