first year in growing and now i have white fly on my greens, can anyone on here advise me on how to get rid of these pests organically please.

Whitefly on greens?  What type of greens please?

They are attracted to bright yellow things so you might want to try sticky traps.

Derris Dust is approved for organic use but it is non-selective.  If you use it, spray in the evening to spare the bees.

they are on my Brussels, cabbages, etc

I found this : http://www.mrs.umn.edu/pyg/tips/houseplants/tip_1213.shtml

Don't know if it would work outdoors since whitefly on brassicas are a different species apparently.

Thank you for your reply, sounds like some sticky stuff is needed, hope it works, thanks again for the information.

Seems to me that there is 90% overlap or more !

It annoys me when the 'organic movement' lays claim to a method which has been around forever.  But then again, I guess everyone was organic before chemical cures were discovered!   Oh, my head hurts.

Who cares as long as it works.

Little yellow ladybirds sorted mine out.  Pity there weren't more of them to go around, cos the whitefly were in abundance this year.  Zucchini, aubergine, cucs, etc..
