Hi everyone
Got a couple of pics of my sprouts that were picked recently, some are fine, but on the others there's a sort of bluish grey dust and they are starting to 'blow' . The picture needs to be close up to see it properly. I think if you click on thumbnail it comes bigger. Any ideas anyone ? The sprouts in second pic looking healthy enough. Thanks for any feedback

To me the powder looks like what you get after/during a white fly infestation (I guess it is all their droppings etc)

ok, sounds about right, there were loads of white fly under the netting. Do they harm the crop at all? I have sprayed them with dilute washing up liquid and hosed everything down, and there seemed to be a lot less of them.Thanks for your reply.

I don't think so. I only had them on my kale so easier to wash. Harder to wash the 'layers' of sprouts though
