Technical Comments
The glasshouse spider mite or two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticaeis is a common pest of protected crops with adult females laying up to 120 eggs in 3 weeks. Motile stages suck the contents out of plant cells and produce characteristic leaf damage of white or silvery speckled patches. Almost all protected crops and soft fruit are vulnerable to infestation.
Activity / Control
Glasshouse spider mite and other spider mite species. Predatory mite preys on eggs, larval and adult stages of a range of mite species including glasshouse , citrus, fruit tree, broad, confier rust mite and thrips. Able to survive on pollen, fungal spores and plant sap in absence of prey and hence can be applied preventatively. Survives high and low temperature but low humidity limits development.
Application Method
Adults and nymphs feed on spider mite eggs, nymphs and some adults. In the absence of mites they feed on pollen and other prey.
Application Rate
Preventative / first introductions: 5 to 10 mites per m2. Low level curative: 20 mites per m2. Curative: up to 50 mites per m2. Introductions: repeat / fortnightly dependent on monitoring and conditions.
