I, too, had a major whitefly/TYLCV problem in Central Florida last fall, to the point where my 14 plants produced a grand total of maybe a half-dozen tomatoes. I'm hoping that between the freezes this winter and removing my citrus trees (which were diseased themselves and no longer producing), it will control it for spring.
