treatments must be done frequently enough to
ensure the mites will not climb back up the plants.

management-i-p-m-for-spider-mites/

23. • The number one predator for spider mites is the
Persimilis mite (Phytoseiulus persimilis)-works only
under temperatures between 55 °F and 85 °F.

24. • During hot summer months, the Swirski mite
(Amblyseius swirskii) works best on twospotted
spider mites. Swirskii works best at temperatures
above 68 °F.

25. Bud borer (Helicoverpa armigera)

at appearance of eggs on buds and tender foliage
controls borer damage.

• Mineral oil sprays can help reduce virus spread in
many crops
• The film of oil kills the aphids and their eggs by
smothering them and provides the lily leaf surface
with a thin, protective barrier against near future
invasions thus preventing aphids from transmitting
the disease through their style by clogging them
