Hey everyone I was wondering if I could get some help. These past couple months have been rough and my plants have taken a beating. I was in the process of moving and my plants were forced to be kept in less than optimal environments, which delayed me in catching an infestation of root aphids. I have been treating them with cold pressed neem and a drop of dr. Bronners peppermint soap and seem to have gotten them under control (fingers crossed) and now moved on to using Beauveria Bassiana.
I also believe I have a russet mite infestation. My plants were dying before my eyes and thankfully I have been able to save them thus far. I have been spraying with wettable sulfur every other day for six days and in between those days I have been cleaning the leaves with aloe and water. Then giving a 3 day break and starting again. I have done this for 3 weeks or 3 rotations so far. My plants have been improving a lot and I haven’t seen anything moving on any of the leaves this past week but believe I am still seeing eggs? Which doesn’t seem to make sense to me?. I am wondering if anyone can help me ID what i’m Seeing on the leaves as russet mite eggs or if it is something else, possibly not even an egg and just sulfur residue. If anyone can help me out i’d Appreciate it!
