Insect(s) Mites
Guidelines:
- For Pome fruits, Strawberries/ornamentals and Redlegged earth mite see specific CropLife strategies.
- Monitor mite activity and treat infestations before thresholds are reached, i.e. spray earlier rather than later. Seek advice on local threshold levels.
- Do not apply sequential applications of products from any one chemical group.
- Preferably products with the same Mode of Action should not be used more than twice in a growing season.
- Incorporate the use of predatory mites for the control of this pest wherever possible.
Notes regarding the application of insecticides:
To ensure the most effective control of the pest:
- Product labels should at all times be carefully read and adhered to;
- Full recommended rates of registered insecticides should always be used; and
- Ensure good coverage of the target area to maximise contact.
