Avoiding susceptible varieties, following proper cultivation practices, introducing natural enemies, and using insecticides and traps are ways to control white bugs (Bemisia argentifolii, B. tabaci) on sweet potatoes.
Specifically, some varieties of sweet potato are more vulnerable to attack than others. Sweet potatoes have spatial requirements in order to be adequately planted, irrigated and fertilized. As an edible, their proper growth, look and taste will benefit from the application of such non-chemical controls as the introduction of white bug-hostile green lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea), lady beetles (Delphastus pusillus) and parasitic wasps (Encarsia formosa) as well as the use of yellow sticky traps placed horizontally over sweet potato canopies. They also will exhibit better survival rates through treatments by horticultural oils against eggs and egg-layers and by neem oil-based insect growth regulators against immature white bugs and use of horticultural or paraffinic oils and insecticidal soap against adults.

Are potatoes bugs poisonous?
Yes, this is because the potato plant itself is poisonous. The only non-poisonous part of the potato plant is the starch inside the tuber. You are not even suppose to eat the potato peel. And under non-circumstance are you to eat of the potato fruit. Because the potato bug can eat the potato plant it inherits its poisons. Keep in mind though that "poisonous" does not mean "venomous". The potato bug may be poisonous to eat, but it is not venomous, meaning it cannot bite you and inject venom into your body. The only way you could ever be harmed by a potato bug is if you ate enough of them to become sick from their protective poison.
