Aleyrodes proletella, the cabbage whitefly, is a species of whitefly from the family Aleyrodidae and a major pest of brassica crops.[1] A native of Europe and western Asia, it appeared in North America,[2] Australia, and several other regions around the world by the late 20th and early 21st century.[3][4]
There are usually four to five generations per year. The development of a generation varies from three to six weeks. A female can lay up to 150 eggs.[5]
