You are correct. Young seedlings are like ice cream in the hands of a child. Irresistible.
Every possible gnat and whitefly will zoom in. They love fresh tender roots and moist soil.
Many can and do manage but a constant check with an arsenal of preventative measures
pre-planting and tested potions at the first sign.
Can happen without an outside plant living near-by. (ask me how i know)
