Pea Mites Warned in Peas and Flax Crops
Victorian agriculture tests show red legged earthmites and peas mites thriving in peas and flax. Creosote barriers may deter mites if applied early, using wheel spreaders or drilled holes, with dust or insecticides like DDT or gammexane as alternatives. Experiments indicate DD T and gammexane with superphosphate reduce mite numbers, though reinfection can occur after rain. Growers should inspect flax and peas stands regularly to act before damage sets in.
