GS PAPER II: Conservation, environmental pollution and degradation, environmental impact assessment.
Context: Approximately 1.35 lakh hectares of coconut and oil palm in India are affected by rugose spiralling whitefly. The first reported invasive spiralling whitefly is now distributed throughout India except Jammu & Kashmir
About Whiteflies:
The whiteflies are difficult to control by using synthetic insecticides, and hence currently naturally occurring insect predators, parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi (fungi that can kill insets) are being used.
