Selected Miticides for Use on Ornamental Plants1

Abstract

Mites are among the most difficult arthropod pests to control on ornamental plants. Adult mites have eight legs and piercing/sucking mouthparts that are used to suck fluids from the cells of host plants (Denmark, 1969). The first immature stage of a mite, referred to as the larva, has only six legs, like insects. The exceptions are the Eriophyid mites, which have four legs in all stages. Mites are not insects, but are more closely related to spiders and ticks. Thousands of species of mites feed on plants. Spider mites, members of the Tetranychidae family, are perhaps the most important mite pests of ornamental plants. The name, spider mites, is due to the many members of this family that produce silk webbing. Spider mites are medium-sized mites that feed on a wide variety of host plants from many different plant families. Some spider mites are bamboo, Lewis, southern red, spruce, tumid and twospotted mites. Members of the false spider mites family, Tenuipalpidae, do not produce silk webbing, but a number of these species feed on ornamental plants. False spider mites are generally smaller than spider mites. Examples of false spider mites are flat and red palm mites. Some Tarsonemid mites (family Tarsonemidae) are smaller than even false spider mites. This family includes broad and cyclamen mites. Eriophyid mites (Eriophyidae family) are too small to be seen with the naked eye and include bud, gall, purple tea and rust mites, among others. As their names suggest, these mites can cause galls, rusts and other abnormal plant growth. There are other families of mites that have

Mites are among the most difficult arthropod
pests to control on ornamental plants. Adult mites
have eight legs and piercing/sucking mouthparts that
are used to suck fluids from the cells of host plants
(Denmark, 1969). The first immature stage of a mite,
referred to as the larva, has only six legs, like insects.
The exceptions are the Eriophyid mites, which have
four legs in all stages. Mites are not insects, but are
more closely related to spiders and ticks. Thousands
of species of mites feed on plants.
Spider mites, members of the Tetranychidae
family, are perhaps the most important mite pests of
ornamental plants. The name, spider mites, is due to
the many members of this family that produce silk
webbing. Spider mites are medium-sized mites that
feed on a wide variety of host plants from many
different plant families. Some spider mites are
bamboo, Lewis, southern red, spruce, tumid and
twospotted mites.
Members of the false spider mites family,
Tenuipalpidae, do not produce silk webbing, but a
number of these species feed on ornamental plants.
False spider mites are generally smaller than spider
mites. Examples of false spider mites are flat and red
palm mites.
Some Tarsonemid mites (family Tarsonemidae)
are smaller than even false spider mites. This family
includes broad and cyclamen mites.
Eriophyid mites (Eriophyidae family) are too
small to be seen with the naked eye and include bud,
gall, purple tea and rust mites, among others. As their
names suggest, these mites can cause galls, rusts and
other abnormal plant growth.
There are other families of mites that have
crop-damaging members, but the mites named above
are the main mite pests of ornamental plants.
Mites of a given species can develop very
rapidly when temperatures, relative humidities, host
plants and other factors are optimal. In fact, for many,
the time to develop from an egg to an adult can be
less than a week. Generally, development occurs
more rapidly at higher temperatures, up to a point.
Due to mitesˇ rapid development, scouting should
be performed frequently (at least once per week), and
miticide applications may need to be made on weekly
or more-frequent intervals (be sure to check the
miticide labels for instructions and restrictions
associated with spray intervals) during the summer.

Selected Miticides for Use on Ornamental Plants 2
Detection
Frequent, careful inspection of plants is
necessary to detect mite infestations before they reach
epidemic levels and cause severe plant damage. By
the time plant symptoms become very obvious to the
unaided eye, control of the mites will be difficult and
potentially expensive. Early detection can limit
damage and facilitate economical control of mites.
Careful inspection is necessary because damage due
to mites can, on some plants, resemble that from other
causes. For example, symptoms can look similar to
insect feeding, nutritional deficiencies, physiological
stress, herbicide damage, etc.
Since many mites feed on the undersides of
leaves, these are important sites to check. Spider
mites can usually be detected on older leaves,
whereas Tarsonemids are often found on young
leaves. False spider mites often feed near the midrib
or veins. Silvery speckling/stippling of the upper leaf
surface is a characteristic symptom of leaf feeding.
Fine thread-like webbing may also be present (spider
mites). Mites may also feed on petioles, stems, buds
and other plant parts. Mite feeding can cause a
multitude of symptoms, such as leaf cupping,
discoloration, distortion, spotting, speckling and
stunting, stem russeting and discoloration, as well as
distorted and discolored flowers.
Because mites are so small, the use of a
magnifying hand lens (10x) will make it easier to
observe them. Another technique frequently used to
detect mites, especially on crops with fine foliage like
ornamental asparagus, is to slap stems firmly on a
light-colored surface, such as a white painterˇs
palette or a sheet of white paper on a clipboard. If
mites are present, they will be easily seen as small,
moving spots.
Control
Both biological control agents and miticides are
available for controlling mites. For example, the
predatory mites, Neoseiulus californicus and
Phytoseiulus persimilis, can effectively control
twospotted spider mites. At least 15 other predators
are commercially available for control of this and
other pests (Osborne and Peña, 1997). P. persimilis
has been used successfully to control twospotted
spider mites on many plants growing in protected
culture (greenhouses and shadehouses). N.
californicus is just as effective, and it tolerates
pesticide residues better than P. persimilis and also
feeds on broad mites [Polyphagotarsonemus latus
(Banks)]. For more information on biological control
of mites, refer to the following Web site:
http://mrec.ifas.ufl.edu/lso/SpMite/b853a1.htm.
A listing of commercial suppliers of biological
mite control agents is available at the following Web
site:
http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/pestmgt/ipminov/
ben_supp/contents.htm.
Besides frequently scouting crops to detect mite
infestations early, growers should avoid using
pesticides that are harmful to eggs, immatures and
adults of predatory mites. Companies that supply mite
predators furnish customers with lists delineating the
effects of pesticides on the predators. (See “side
effects” at the following Web site:
http://www.biobest.be and
http://www.koppert.nl/e005.shtml)].
For chemical mite control, the use of
broad-spectrum insecticides/miticides (especially
products with long-lived residual activity, such as the
pyrethroids listed in Table 1) is generally not
recommended. These insecticides/miticides may
directly or indirectly harm beneficial insects and/or
mites, and a rapid increase in existing plant-feeding
mite populations may result. Use of the insecticide
carbaryl is also known to occasionally increase
twospotted spider mite infestations on susceptible
plants. Therefore, selective chemicals that
specifically target plant-feeding mites should be used.
Predatory mites must be released as soon as pest
mites are detected, and the number of predatory mites
released must be sufficient to ensure control of the
pest mites (Osborne et al., 1985). As mentioned
previously, check with biological control suppliers
for guidance and to find out which predatory-mite
strains are resistant or susceptible to specific
pesticides. This information can help in making
decisions regarding pesticide use. For more
information on biological control, see Osborne and
Peña, 1997.

Selected Miticides for Use on Ornamental Plants 3
Although mites can become resistant to
miticides; several techniques can reduce the
likelihood of this happening. First, minimize miticide
usage by incorporating biological and cultural
methods into your pest management program.
Practice good sanitation methods and use mite
resistant crops and varieties. Scout frequently (at least
once a week) and only apply miticides when
necessary. Design growing areas so all areas can be
easily and effectively treated.
Do not use miticides with the same mode of
action in succession. Rather, practice long-term
rotations, using as many products with different
modes of action as possible. For example, carbamates
and organophosphates both work by inhibiting the
enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is important in
the proper functioning of the nervous system. Most
of the other classes of miticides have different modes
of action. Table 1 lists miticides commonly used on
ornamental crops and the mode of action groups for
these miticides. Active ingredients, trade names,
formulations and labeling (application locations,
restricted use designations, restricted entry intervals
[REIs] and manufacturer/distributors' names are also
given. Users of any pesticide should make sure they
have the current label since labels may change over
time. In addition, users should read labels in their
entirety and comply with the labelˇs directions and
restrictions. Table 2 lists the addresses of the
manufacturers/distributors of the miticides listed in
Table 1. Another useful strategy for controlling mites
is to include products with a non-specific mode of
action, where possible, into a rotation. This group
includes insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils.
Miticides should only be used as labeled (“the
label is the law”). Fortunately, some miticides have
general labeling that allows them to be used, at the
growerˇs risk, on a broad range of crops not
specifically listed on the label. Prudent growers
should test multiple applications of any miticide if it
is likely that it will be used more than once. In
addition, to enhance miticide efficacy, surfactants and
adjuvants maybe included if there are no label
restrictions.
Allow sufficient time after treating the test plants
for phytotoxicity symptoms to develop. If a new
miticide will be used in tank mixes or in close
sequences with other pesticides, evaluate the
potential for plant injury (phytotoxicity) on a small
number (about 10) of plants of each species and
cultivar before treating all the plants of each crop.
These tolerance tests should take into consideration
the potential interactions with other pesticides used in
the pest control program.
It is essential to read pesticide labels since all
restrictions related to where each product can be used
(greenhouse, shadehouse, interiorscape, outdoor field
nursery, outdoor nursery, landscape, residential
landscape), how it can be applied (chemigation,
spray, aerial, etc.), on what growing media it can be
used, etc., must be observed. State and local labeling
may differ from and be more restrictive than federal
labeling. Pesticide applicators should always review
product labels before using any pesticide and have all
pertinent labels (including supplemental labels) in
their possession prior to use of any pesticide.
