Usage
Apple-European red spider: Application should be made when an average of 8-10 live individuals are seen per leaf in periodic counts to be made on 100 leaves starting from the beginning of May.
Tomato, cucumber, eggplant and pepper-red spiders: Application should be made when an average of 5 live individuals are seen per leaf in tomato, cucumber and eggplant, and 3 live individuals are seen in pepper. Cotton-red spiders: In order to determine the time of control, checks are made when the plants have 4-6 leaves. If the pest is only found on the edge of the field or locally in it, only these parts should be applied. Application should be made when an average of 5 live red spiders are seen per leaf in the Mediterranean Region and 10 live red spiders are seen in the Aegean and Southeastern Anatolia Regions.
Watermelon-Two-spotted red spider: For the first count in vegetable gardens, the field is entered diagonally from the diagonals of the plots during the flowering period. Every 3-5 steps, the red spider nymphs and adults are counted on the bottom and middle leaves of the plant. Live red spiders on the leaves are counted with a magnifying glass and recorded. The total number of red spiders is divided by the number of leaves counted. The number of live red spiders per leaf is found. When an average of 5 live red spiders are found per leaf, a decision is made to combat.
Vineyard-Two-spotted red spider: The vineyard areas where it spreads should be kept under observation, and chemical combat is recommended when 5-8 pests are found on a leaf. If the pest density exceeds the threshold in the counts made after the end of the effect period of the product used in the first application, a second application is made. In applications made before harvest, the application is terminated by taking into account the waiting period of the acaricide used. If the damage continues, the application can be made after harvest.
Corn-Two-spotted red spider: If color change (yellowing and browning) has started in the lower leaves of the plant before the grain-setting period in corn and if the pest is in high density, spraying is recommended.
Strawberry-Two-spotted red spider: Early application: In strawberry fields where red spiders are a problem every year, an application should be made when red spiders are seen during the flower and green fruit period (before the first ripe fruits are seen). Early application is safer as it does not leave residue on the fruits. In-season application: In cases where early application is not made, strawberries grown in the open are checked at 3-5 day intervals at the beginning of the season (late March-early April). Red spiders are seen on the surrounding plants at the beginning of the season in strawberries. It is sufficient to check and apply these plants first. If the population is widespread, at least 50 leaflets are examined in the middle and lower parts of the plant to represent the field. If 15 or more red spiders are detected per leaflet, application is decided. Application is made immediately after fruit collection. Harvest should be done by paying attention to the period between the last application and harvest.
Cotton-Two-spotted red spider: In order to determine the time of control, checks are made when the plants have 4-6 leaves. If the pest is only found locally on the edge of the field or within it, it should only be applied to these parts. Application should be made when an average of 5 live red spiders are seen per leaf in the Mediterranean region and 10 live red spiders are seen in the Aegean and Southeastern Anatolia regions.
