What method of control against mites mites?

Chemical
Spring: treatment at the threshold of 70% of leaves occupied by at least one mobile form. Apply a larvicide or adulticide with a good shock action.
In summer: treatment at the threshold of 30% of leaves occupied by at least one mobile form with an ovicidal, larvicidal and adulticide with good persistence of action.
The interpretation of these thresholds should take into account the presence of beneficials.
 
Organic by Typhlodromus pyri
Far ahead of the beetles, bugs and thrips, typhlodromes are major predators of mites. A mobile form by leaf is necessary to avoid any acaricide treatment.
To promote the development or relocation of beneficials, it is necessary to eliminate all toxic products towards the typhlodromes. Choose specialty classified neutral or slightly toxic.
