Spider Mites attack will increase in maize crop, know the preventive measures

  • Spider mites infestations can occur at all stages of the maize crop. Spiders damage the crop by sucking the juice from the leaves.

  • This causes premature drying of maize leaves and results in the destruction of leaf tissue, breakage of stalks and shrivelling of grains.

  • Damaged leaves become somewhat yellow and sticky on the upper surface and brown due to webbing on the lower surface.

  • Use Omite (Propargite 57% EC) 400 ml/acre to control Spider Mites in maize crops.
