I grew tomatoes in the greenhouse and my plants are infected by strange insects. It is not easy to see by eye. By the naked eye, it looks like yellow dust. Under the microscope 10x, it looks like aphids. (Attached pictures)
Please tell me what is this. And how to control this insect
Thank you very much!
Hello dear Doai,
It seems to be an Eriophyid mite. You can use acaricide to control them.
It is best to do this before flowering and form fruits your own plants.
Best Wishes,
Amir
Dear Doai:
Your tomatoe pest is not an insect. Is Aculops lycopersici, also known as the tomato russet mite, is a species of mite that belongs to the family Eriophydae.
Aculops lycopersici is an important pest in tomato plants. Is common around the world.
To control them you can use acaricides. Also sulfur dust and wettable sulfur are effective for russet mite control.
