WHAT ARE MITES ?

MITES, ALONG WITH TICKS, ARE SMALL ARTHROPODS BELONGING TO THE SUBCLASS ACARI ( ALSO KNOWN AS ACARINA)

TO THE NAKED EYE, SPIDER MITES LOOK LIKE TINY, MOVING DOTS; HOWEVER, YOU CAN SEE THEM EASILY WITH A 10X HAND LENS, ADULT FEMALES, THE LARGEST FORMS, ARE LESS THAN 1/20 INCH LONG. SPIDER MITES LIVE IN COLONIES, MOSTLY ON THE UNDER-SURFACES OF LEAVES; A SINGLE COLONY MAY CONTAIN HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS.

HOW DO MITES DAMAGE THE CROPS ?

MITES CAUSE DAMAGE BY SUCKING CELL CONTENTS FROM LEAVES. A SMALL NUMBER OF MITES USUALLY ISN’T REASON FOR CONCERN, BUT VERY HIGH POPULATIONS—LEVELS HIGH ENOUGH TO SHOW VISIBLE DAMAGE TO LEAVES – CAN DAMAGE PLANTS, ESPECIALLY HERBACEOUS ONES. AT FIRST, THE DAMAGE SHOWS UP AS A STIPPLING OF LIGHT DOTS ON THE LEAVE; SOMETIMES THE LEAVES TAKE ON A BRONZE COLOR. AS FEEDING CONTINUES, THE LEAVES TURN YELLOWISH OR REDDISH AND DROP OFF. OFTEN, LARGE AMOUNTS OF WEBBING COVER LEAVES, TWIGS, AND FRUIT. DAMAGE IS USUALLY WORSE WHEN COMPOUNDED BY WATER STRESS.

LOSS OF LEAVES WON’T CAUSE YIELD LOSSES IN FRUIT TREES DURING THE YEAR OF INFESTATION UNLESS IT OCCURS IN SPRING OR VERY EARLY SUMMER, BUT IT MAY IMPACT NEXT YEAR’S CROP. ON ANNUAL VEGETABLE CROPS – SUCH AS SQUASH, MELONS, AND WATERMELONS LOSS OF LEAVES CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON YIELD AND LEAD TO SUNBURNING. ON CROPS SUCH AS SUGAR PEAS AND BEANS, WHERE PODS ARE ATTACKED, SPIDER MITES CAN CAUSE DIRECT DAMAGE. ON ORNAMENTAL, MITES ARE PRIMARILY AN AESTHETIC CONCERN, BUT THEY CAN KILL PLANTS IF POPULATION BECOME VERY HIGH ON ANNUAL PLANTS. SPIDER MITES ARE ALSO IMPORTANT PESTS OF FIELD-GROWN ROSES.

WHITE FLIES SUCK PHLOEM SAP. LARGE POPULATIONS CAN CAUSE LEAVES TO TURN YELLOW, APPEAR DRY, OR FALL OFF PLANTS. LIKE APHIDS, WHITFLIES EXCRETE HONEYDEW, SO LEAVES MAY BE STICKY OR COVERED WITH BLACK SOOTY MOLD. THE HONEYDEW ATTRACTS ANTS, WHICH INTERFERE WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF  NATURAL ENEMIES THAT MAY CONTROL WHITE FLIES AND OTHER PESTS.

FEEDING BY THE IMMATURE SILVER-LEAF WHITE-FLY, BEMISIA ARGENTIFOLII, CAN CAUSE PLANT DISTORTION, OR SILVERING OF LEAVES AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS LOSSES IN SOME VEGETABLE CROPS. SOME WHITE-FLIES ARE NOT NORMALLY A PROBLEM IN FRUIT TREES, BUT SEVERAL WHITE-FLIES CAN BE PROBLEMS ON ORNAMENTAL TREES . LOW LEVELS OF WHITE-FLIES ARE NOT USUALLY DAMAGING.ADULTS BY THEMSELVES WILL NOT CAUSE SIGNIFICANT POPULATION OF WHITE-FLY NYMPHS.

CONTROLLING MITES, WHITE FLIES AND OTHER INSECT PESTS:

Chemical control of mites generally involves pesticides that are specifically developed for spider mite control (miticides or accaricides). Few insecticides are effective for spider mites and many other insect pests and many even aggravate problems. Furthermore, most insects become resistant to new pesticides within two or four years, making control difficult.

With these disadvantages of chemical pesticides, K-Mite stands tall in the management of Mites in following ways:

•          Contains the complex alkaloids extracted from Vitex negundo which interfere with the immunological mechanism of these pests thus protecting the plants.
•          Being based on alkaloids of plants extracts, pests cannot develop resistance because alkaloids is a group of complex compounds and not a single chemical molecule.
•          Eco-friendly posing no threat to the environment.
•          Non-toxic to non-targets including human begins.
