Introduction

Mites are a big problem in tomato farming, affecting plant health and productivity. These tiny pests, part of the spider and russet mite families, feed on tomato plants by sucking out cell contents. This can weaken plants and reduce their yield. To keep tomatoes healthy, it's crucial to use effective strategies to manage mites throughout their growth cycle.

                      

 

Symptoms

Small spots or speckles on leaves  where they feed. Leaves may turn yellow or bronze, and fine webs might appear, usually on the underside. In severe cases, leaves can curl, growth may be stunted, and fruit production reduced. Early detection and swift action are vital to limit harm and preserve tomato yields.

 

Preventive measures

To prevent mite infestations in tomatoes, implement early detection by inspecting plants for webbing or stippling on leaves. Maintain proper plant spacing and weed removal to reduce mite habitats. Monitor mite populations with sticky traps and introduce predatory mites for biological control. Use miticides judiciously following guidelines to minimize resistance and environmental impact, ensuring tomato plants remain healthy throughout the growing season.

Chemical control

Movento Energy is a powerful insecticide for managing sucking pests. It moves up and down the plant to protect against hidden pests, ensuring long-lasting control and boosting crop health and yields. Spirotetramat stops pests by blocking their fat production, while Imidacloprid disrupts their nervous systems. Apply 0.5- 1 ml/Lit avoiding flowering and bee activity to protect pollinators.

                            

Omite is a popular miticide used in agriculture due to its effectiveness against a wide range of mite species. It contains Propargite 57% EC as its active ingredient, providing rapid and robust control throughout the mite life cycle. This product acts on contact, reaching mites in dense crop canopies through direct application, residual effects, and vapor action. By disrupting mite enzyme systems, Omite interferes with their metabolism, respiration, and nervous functions. The recommended rate of application is 2ml/lit of water for optimal control of mites in agricultural.

                            

Danitol Insecticide is a cost-effective, broad-spectrum solution containing 10% fenpropathrin (EC). It targets insects effectively through both contact and ingestion. Upon contact, insects immediately stop feeding, become paralyzed, and die shortly after. When insects consume Danitol-treated plants, the insecticide disrupts their nervous systems by affecting sodium channels, leading to paralysis and death. With its quick knockdown action, Danitol ensures efficient insect control. Additionally, it is compatible with most commercial fungicides and other insecticides and has minimal impact on beneficial insects. The recommended dosage is 1.5ml/ Lit water.
