Spider mite damage

Lewis mite

Symptoms progress from yellow mottling, scarring to bronzing and drying out of leaves. Stunted growth and plant death can also be seen.

Healthy plants

Mite infested plants

Healthy leaves-green

Conclusions

•Some new and existing miticides have good activity against twospotted spider mites. •Microbial and botanical options have a good potential and comparable to chemical miticides in some instances. They also appear to be safer to predatory mites. •Consider combinations of reduced rates of chemicals and other options for good IPM

Spider mite management

Rotating chemicals from different classes

Regularly monitoring and making right

treatment decisions

Using microbial and botanical pesticides Releasing predatory

mites and proper timing and quantity

Conserving natural enemies through dust

control and using softer pesticides

Judiciously using effective chemicals

Adequate chilling, nitrogen and water

management for healthy plant growth
