do you have pestoil there or white oil? If not mix up into 1 litre of water, 1 teaspoon of edible oil eg olive oil and a dash of dishwashing detergent and spray the whole plant. That'll take care of the insects that produce the excrement that feeds the sooty mold.
Whiteflies? Try some sticky yellow cardboard placed near your plants.
