Spider mite. How to discover how to get rid of - practical experience
Once in a comment on the article Why lie I saw a question not on a subject, know very sore, "How can I see spider mites on cucumbers?". I said. And the thought that it is necessary to write in detail. It's too much talk about this insect.
The main thing is to detect it as soon as possible. In the photo below list amazed spider mites. One can see a lot of points, like punctures. It is he.
Does not stain, does not dry the edges of the sheet, namely dots.
The second sign: very fine gossamer without any structure. Ordinary spiders strings are thicker and often visible pattern. Gossamer spider mite may be at the beginning of the sheet, wherein the stalk is connected to the sheet plate. In a more advanced stage, it is everywhere, wherever there is a plant.
Nowadays spider mite attacks not only to produce, does not shrink from sweet peppers and tomatoes.
About a physical fight with spider mites
Chemicals do not use, and very few people will want to use the fruiting greenhouse.
Maybe you need to buy a predatory mites? It is expensive, and wildlife is always difficult, dies, that just is not so.
When I saw the picture of these predators, I remembered that in my first year in the greenhouse they were. Reds small. And spider mite was. Only I had time to throw away the plants. Then he disappeared, and a lover of cucumbers and a predator.
Producers promise that 95% eat them Phytoseiulus or ambliseyusy (there are 2 kinds, and even subspecies). Somehow not inspired.
Well remove diseased plant parts. But it does not solve, of course, problems. I have almost all adult cucumber thrown, and the two remaining children will be treated.
His first flower bed, where he was a spider mite, I did warm. He left for the winter (before he could crawl 20 cm deep). And I told him from the top even cut branches and 20 cm of soil. Not got!
I know two effective biological product
So, we need proven biologics. If spider mites for the first time faced with such a method of struggle, victory will be ours.
First of all, it Fitoverm. Fresh desirable. Not more than 2 months. Every week to spray the instructions. After removal of diseased leaves. Can be up to 4 times. Better on a warm evening, so as not killing substance in the sun without having to win their portion of mites.
Before spraying fitoverm, well watered from a watering plants. Water and high humidity mite does not respect. He would heat and Dry.
I decided to alternate. On Sunday fitoverm, next weekend bitoksibatsillin. But it is possible and one fitoverm. Only not more than 4 times. It makes sense to spray thoroughly on both sides of the sheet and the leaf axils. And also the land base.
Eat the fruit can be 3 days after fitoverm and 5 after bitoksibatsillin. Although there is information that the child has eaten a teaspoon bitoksibatsillin and untreated diarrhea escaped. Wash thoroughly it is necessary in any case.
To date, the tick was quiet, happy plants. Continue.
Thanks to the comments, I learned that there is tobacco checkers. Has anyone tried it? Now it is not an option:
- In the heat of the greenhouse does not close properly, even at night
- Smell, probably, all the fruit soaked
- Video looked very affected plants at the woman on the treatment of tobacco with his sword
And in the spring, autumn is necessary to reflect on this idea.
And you won spider mites?
