📌 Red mite life cycle

Red mite life cycle

Red mites are small brown-red insects that can destroy a variety of plants, can reproduce and increase their numbers quickly in a short time, thus making them difficult to control.

The African red mite life cycle from egg stage to adult takes about 9-10 days, with different life stages:

1. Egg stage: The female lays eggs under the leaves or plant stems, and then enters the larval stage with 3 stages:

2. Larva lava-va stage: Hatch from the egg with 6 legs.

3.Embryonic stage (Protonymph Pro- to-Nimf): with 8 legs

4.Embryonic stage (Deutonymph Dew-toe-nimf): with 8 legs

5. Adult stage: with 8 legs. Ready to breed.

Red mites reproduce and produce parthenogenesis. One female adult can lay about 14-15 eggs, and embryos hatched from unfertilized eggs grow into all males. At the same time, embryos hatched from fertilized eggs have both males and females.

Outbreak: Red mites will have severe outbreaks during dry weather, rain or early winter rains because this climate is dry, windy and sunny, suited to the propagation of red mites (hydrophobic), especially during December-January and March-April.

Red mites, both larvae and adults, use a sharp needle to penetrate the tissues of the plant's leaves, especially old leaves and peslad leaves, and then release a toxin called Toxin, causing the loss of chlorophyll, causing the leaves to form small, pale white spots, and if it is destroyed or spread violently, the small spots will gradually change from pale white and brown, dry and eventually falling.

Introduce the red mite remover group

- Group 3A: Fenproparin

- Group 19: Amitraz

- Group 12C: Propagides

- Group 12B: Fenbutarin oxide (new group)

- Group 23: Spiromysifen, Spirodyclofen (new group)

- Group 21A: Pyridaben, Tibufen Pyrrhino

- Group 10A: Hexy Tai Asok (egg control, embryo)

* * The drug group should be switched to prevent resistance during the Red Mite epidemic because the Red Mite has a short life cycle.
