Mite Pests on Tomatoes and Beans
Tomato and bean crops in many districts suffer mite infestations reducing yields. The red spider mite affects beans and a separate mite targets tomatoes and beans in hot dry weather. Dusting with sulfur, or a lime and sulfur mix, is advised with careful spray to reach undersides of leaves. Preventive sulfur may deter infestation. lime-sulphur spray is safe even on stressed plants.
