Spinder mites
Recognising diseases and pests
How do you recognise spider mites?
Spider mites can seriously damage your crops. They damage the flowers and leaves and put the overall health of the plant at risk.
Spider mites are pests that occur in various crops. Some familiar species include the red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), bean spider mite (Tetranychus ludeni), carmine spider mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus) and citrus red mite (Panonychus citri).
The spider mites are classified as arachnids. They have a single, unsegmented body. The spider mite punctures leaf cells to feed and damages flowers and leaves by doing so.
The ornamental value of plants can be greatly reduced by this pest. Spider mites develop rapidly under dry and warm conditions. Silk threads can be seen in severe infestations. This mite is clearly visible due to its red colour.
Life cycle
There are five stages of development in the life cycle of a spider mite. The female spider mite lays eggs (usually on the underside of the leaf), after which the larval stage begins. This larval stage is followed by two nymphal stages, culminating in the adult stage.
Type of damage
Leaf damage caused by the spider mite puncturing and feeding on the leaf. This has consequences for photosynthesis and ornamental value (especially of leaves and flowers) due to the formation of yellow-brown spots.
The silk threads that the mite produces reduce the plant’s ornamental value.
Thrips

How do you recognise thrips?
Thrips cause sucking damage to leaves, flowers and fruits. In particular, this can lead to significant damage to the plant’s ovary.
Thrips leave silver-brown marks after feeding on leaf cells. These insects are characterised by their adaptability. There are various species, but the Californian thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and the tobacco thrips (Thrips tabaci) are especially well-known.
Life cycle
There are six stages in the life cycle of thrips. The female thrips lays eggs, up to 75-125 of them at an optimal temperature. There are two larval stages, a pre-pupal and a pupal stage, and the adult stage. The larvae are very active and mobile. Pupation takes place on the ground (especially in outdoor crops such as Chrysanthemum and organic greenhouse vegetables) or on the underside of leaves.
Type of damage
Thrips readily transmit bacteria and viruses. The California thrips can transmit the tomato spotted wilt virus.
In ornamentals, leaf and flower damage can result in discoloration.
In fruit crops, the damage can lead to deformed fruit.
MIldew

How do you recognise mildew?
Powdery mildew weakens the plant by sucking sap from the leaf cells.
Under optimal conditions, this fungus can develop and spread at lightning speed. The optimal temperature is around 22°C with an RH of 60% – 80%. Under these conditions, the spores germinate within two hours.
Spores (or conidia) are the cause of the infestation. The spores germinate on the leaves and suck the sap from the leaf cells. Powdery mildew develops in the leaf cells, which serve as a source of nutrition for the development of the fungus.
The fungal threads arising during the germination process enable the spores to spread. This in turn enables the life cycle to continue for a long time. Powdery mildew can only develop on living material.
