Cyclamen mites | How to control?
The cyclamen mite, also known as Phytonemus pallidus, causes significant damage to ornamental plants. Especially in cyclamen, gerbera, fuchsia, begonia and chrysanthemums, the mite is commonly found, but this mite also affects the strawberry and vegetable cultivation. It is a common disease in the UK. This mite belongs to the family of tarsonemids (Tarsonemidae). A number of species feed on fungi, algae, plants, as well as insect and mite predators and parasites. Plant parasites can cause considerable damage to their hosts.
