Spider Mites

Grady

MARYVILLE, MO (2012-07-11)

Area growers are being encouraged to check their fields after a pest emerges in northwest Missouri fields. 

Spider mites have reportedly infiltrated soybean fields near Maryville according to Holt County M-U Extension Agronomist Wayne Flannery. Flannery says when scouting soybean fields for traces of the mites, look for an off color area turning yellow or brown. Flannery adds when checking bring a white sheet of paper to get a closer look at speckles infected plants may possess. 

Flannery says spider mites have been reported just west of Maryville and another report has been confirmed in Maitland.
