Collection: Spider mites
Introduction
Spider mites are a pest in many crops. Their great reproductive capacity enables them to cause enormous damage in a short period of time. In many protected crops the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is the most important pest. In field crops, other Tetranychus species can also cause damage.
Biology
The spider mite goes through five stages, namely egg, larva, first nymphal stage (protonymph), second nymphal stage (deutonymph) and adult. All stages can be observed in the crop.
Damage symptoms
Solutions:
A common recommendation is to use the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis to hammer the main outbreak, together with Neoseiulus Californicus, which cleans up and hangs out longer after Persimilis finishes its work.
Sometime we will recommend slightly different bundles depending on temperature and humidity. Contact Shale Peak Horticulture for more specific recommendations to fit your IPM needs
