14 Mar 2025
MICROTHIOL SPECIAL 80WG effectively eliminates red spider mites, protecting cassava yield. Safe, easy to use, and enriched with sulfur for healthy plant growth.
Red spider mites – A dangerous threat to cassava plants
Red spider mites are among the most harmful pests affecting cassava, especially in hot and dry weather conditions. These pests primarily attack the underside of leaves, sucking plant sap and causing yellow spots that gradually turn brown and dry. This not only reduces the plant’s ability to photosynthesize but also significantly affects yield and tuber quality. When red spider mite populations are high, they can cause massive leaf drop, weaken plants, and lead to smaller, lower-quality tubers with reduced starch content. Finding an effective red spider mite control solution is essential for protecting crop productivity.
