Chemical control for bamboo mites #549057

Asked March 26, 2019, 2:09 PM EDT

I have Pleioblastus distichus 'mini' maintained as a lawn. It is infested with mites and am interested in learning which miticides can be rotated for control and what surfactants are recommended. I have both a backpack sprayer and hose-end sprayer. I've used Kontos with hose end sprayer for 2 years with poor results. Thanks, Bob Souvestre.

Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Bob. It was referred to us here in Oregon, and, since we're not familiar with this type of mite, nor miticides recommended for use in Louisiana, I would suggest you get some assistance directly from your county Extension office, whose contact information you can find here:  https://www.lsuagcenter.com/portals/our_offices/parishes/east%20baton%20rouge

Good luck!
