Plant injury is caused by the spider mite
feeding. They rasp at the underside of the leaves and suck up the
sap. This causes a speckling and leaf discoloration of a yellow
to bronze appearance. Spider mites will also produce webbing which
may cover the plant. Severe infestation can lead to yield reduction
since mite feeding can cause wilting, leaf defoliation or can even
kill the plant. |
