How to Identify and Eliminate Broad Mites.
Welcome to my guide on identifying and eliminating broad mites. Broad mites can wreak havoc on your peppers. In this video, I'll walk you through the telltale signs of a broad mite infestation, and how to identify them using magnification. I'll also show the methods I use for treating the plants to get rid of the broad mites for good.

I’ve had this issue in the past. I’ve always wondered what the hell was causing the leaves to look like that. Thank you for this video.

@ivahihopeful Год назад

Wow, I hope I don’t get those, but I’m glad I’ll know what to do if it happens.

Always wondered why I would occasionally get leaves like that

Been dealing with what i thought was leaf curl virus but now I'm thinking it may just be these mites, thanks for the informative video.

@pepperdactyl 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. Yes, it very well could be broadmites on your plants. They are insidious, partly because they can't be seen with the naked eye. One thing you can do, that I didn't demonstrate in the video, is use this same powder in a duster, and just dust the leaves/plant without mixing in water. This works well also.Good luck!

@@pepperdactyl just over a week after treating all my peppers for mites and the new leaf growth has returned to normal and plants are looking much healthier. I've lost numerous peppers over the last few years and many more have struggled along with poor production so thanks again.

Broad mites, the scourge of gardening. It is nice to see you helping others with what you have tried.

Are they the same?

@MattGarver 8 месяцев назад

@stevep4236 They're all bugs to me. Just kidding. Peter might answer that question.

Thanks for the tips. I ran into these mites for the first time this year on my bell pepper plants. I've lost 4 plants before figuring it out.

I'm having a mite issue in the greenhouse on my eggplants as usual. Just removed a bunch of leaves from them and sprayed with Monterey fruit tree spray which seems to work pretty well on mites too.

@pepperdactyl Год назад

I haven't heard of that product. Glad it works for you.

@vicofthewoods7144 5 месяцев назад

Hey Peter, how often do you have to spray this stuff for them to go away fully? Thanks!!

@pepperdactyl 4 месяца назад

I usually do two a few days apart. Recently, I’ve switched over to just dusting dry powder on the leaves and around the plant as a preventative. You can get the dusters on Amazon cheap, they are advertised for use with diatomaceous earth.

What other bad bugs would this spray kill? Thank you

@stevep4236 8 месяцев назад

Anything that comes into contact to it I believe

@dragonguise 4 месяца назад

Do you HAVE to trim off the tops?

@pepperdactyl 4 месяца назад

If there are affected leaves on the tops, I would remove them. This will take out a large number of mites instantly, and those leaves will never recover anyway.
