Agricultural mites are tiny arachnids that can cause significant damage to crops and plants. They belong to the order Acari, which includes spider mites, rust mites, and broad mites. These mites feed on plant tissues by piercing plant cells and sucking out the contents, leading to stunted growth, discolouration, and even death of the plants.
Mites affect the crops:
Several vegetable crops and flowering plants are commonly susceptible to mite infestations.
The mite infestations are common in:
Vegetable Crops include Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Beans, Eggplants, Peppers, and
Flowering Plants include Roses, Geraniums, Marigolds, Dahlias, and Chrysanthemums.
Severe infestations can result in leaf stippling, discolouration, distortion, weakened plants, reduced flowering, and premature leaf drops in pepper plants.
Factors affecting the mite infestations on Crops:
It's important to note that the susceptibility of plants to mite infestations can vary based on environmental conditions, specific plant varieties, and other pests. Regular monitoring, early detection, and appropriate mite control measures are crucial to maintaining the health and productivity of these crops and flowering plants.
Controlling the Mites:
Controlling agricultural mites is essential to prevent crop losses and maintain healthy plant growth. Here are some standard methods used for mite control:
It's important to note that the specific control measures may vary depending on the type of mite, the crops being grown, and the local conditions. Consulting with agricultural extension services, pest control experts, or entomologists can provide more detailed and tailored recommendations for managing specific farm settings.

This disease generally comes between 30-45 days from the planting of crops to the main field!
Fungi, bacteria, or nematodes might cause wilt disease! But, here, the biggest problem is the farmers are still looking for the real cause of wilt disease easily!
So, as a result, they spray many medicines without knowing the real reason and facts and spend more money without getting any results!
In this video, we are showing you how to identify the cause of these wilt diseases! Here we will show you how to identify the causes of plant wilt!
First, you take a plant having wilt disease that has no chance to survive longer! The plant must be near death!
Our task is to uproot the whole affected plant so that most of the plant's roots remain intact!
For successful uprooting, you added more water at the rooting zone well in advance! Before uprooting the plant, mark the plant stem where it is attached to the soil surface. After uprooting the plant, wash it with fresh pond water!
It is time to check whether any knots are on the roots! If so, that might be for nematodes! You need to apply nematicide!
Next, you can take a 4 inches small stem piece: 2 inches above and below the mark point done previously, for the ooze test!
Then, you put it in a glass of drinking water for 30 minutes! After a few minutes, you can find smoke like white exudate or ooze that will come from both ends of a small cut piece!
After 30 minutes, if the glass water becomes whitening, it's the bacterial wilt!
Why is Oozing or whitening happening? Because once the infected stem comes into contact with water, the bacteria are released into the water, making an ooze in the glass water!
If the roots do not have Knots developed by Nematodes and the glass water does not become whitening as in the previous step, it's a fungal wilt!
Finally, you can find the real cause of the disease!
You are now applying the right products to control specific plant wilt diseases!
In case of nematode wilt, you can spray Velum Prime, a Bayer product! Alternatively, you can apply an organic fungicide Pseudomonas, with Neemazal!
In case of fungal plant wilt, you can apply fungicide: Ridomil Gold, Tata Master, or Amister Top with Plantomycin!
Learn How To Identify the Tomato and Brinjal Plant Wilt (And What To Do If You Find It)
In the case of Bacterial Wilt, you can apply Rajat HD, an organic bactericide!
But before purchasing any products to control brinjal and tomato wilt, you must check whether Nematodes, fungi, or Bacteria cause the wilt!
