Spider Mite Online Video Available
Spider mites are a major recurring pest of strawberry. If left untreated, these pests will infest fields, decrease yield and eventually kill your plants. Several methods are available to help control spider mites on strawberry including biological control (i.e., predatory mites) and miticides.
