Pest Alert - Tomato Russet Mite.

This pest causes yellowing, then bronzing of both foliage and stems from the bottom of the plant up. One way to check for this pest is to compare the stem color from the lower part of the plant to that of the new growth. If the new growth is a bright green and the lower growth bronzed in appearance, chances are the mite is there.

We offer 2 controls for it, OMRI approved Bonide Sulfur Dust (recommended by UC IPM) or Green Light Neem, a botanical insecticide blend of Neem oil (from the Neem tree) and pyrethrins (from Pyrethrum daisies).
