Killing web

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

I could not locate the spiders but the web has vertically killed my Dahlia. I have sprayed with insecticide, will it be saved?

[Izhar]

This is Spider mite attack... insecticides would be useless as they are not insects rather arachnids... use miticide like Oberon of Bayer...

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

I used CONFIDOR of Bayer this morning, now I find orangeish granular powder on tips of leaves and also on the web.

What is it.

[Izhar]

Sir, these granules are in fact the minute mites.... Confidor is useless on them... you have to get a miticide...

[Farhan Ahmed]

wash them thoroughly, til you get hold of something

Dahlias are very easily attacked by mites. from last session, i am fighting hard against them. the only possible solution is Neem oil with dish wash liquid mixed in warm water and spray
