Sure man tomorrow i will try to get a better picture ...they are kind of oval shapedThey look like oribatid mites. They are harmless soil mites and play a vital role in biologically diverse and healthy soil. Oribatid mites eat decomposing organic matter. They are often found in compost bins. They look too round and shiny to be root aphids. I’m fairly confident that’s what they are. Can you gather one up and put it in a clear zip lock bag and get a closer up picture?
I use that for PM too..instant death to about everything so far..My FF soils always come with Gnat eggs. The stuff kills on contact! POOF.This will get rid of those. Look like aphids to me, hydro store or internet. It’s not cheap so b prepared but it is all non toxic essential oil and I’ve had great success with it in aphids and mites View attachment 905575View attachment 905576

Took this pic with magnifying glass hope this gets the job doneWe can at least rule out any soil dwelling crop damaging pests like root aphids or bulb mites. . Hopefully it’s just a harmless soil mite.
Its really small i cant see its legsaphids will have 6 legs and mites will have 8 legs. look for any markings on its body that would help identify it.
Nope they aren't ladybug nymphsLadybug nymphs?
Cool man mine also looks exactly like this tomorrow i will go and search for sulfur and de in offline market , if i don't find it i will order it online and i will try to get ladybugs but i think they will be hard to get here and since these mites appeared my plant leaves getting a little curled up maybe its because i overwatered it yesterday...Here’s mine 250x with a digital microscope.
You can see they are on the outside of my black fabric pots
I am not able to find all of these brands in india...i searched all night yesterday all over the internet...i found some local brands and most of them were cheap not very expensive between 3-15 usd , i will try sulfur first because it will be easily available in offline stores i guess... if not i will order 3-4 types of pesticides for mites and hopefully one of them will work ; sulfur and de is easily available online here both of them cost 3-5 usdThey don’t look like leaf suckers. Plus you’d find them all over the backs of the leaves. If they are staying in/on the soil with the occasional mite on the leaves then they are soil dwelling mites. I want to get grandevo WDG. I will also use it for my business so I don’t mind spending the $$$ It’s a bacterial bioinsecticide that will continue to infect and kill the pests until they are all eradicated. Organic too.
Can't see much but are they small worm like? If so I had the same problem a couple years back just needed to let the soil dry a bit n they leftHi today morning i woke up and as usually the first thing i do is water my plants at that time i saw a lot of white incests/larva
I don't know what it is...i need help they came overnight i tried neem oil spray and tried to drown them but they are not going please helpView attachment 905536View attachment 905534View attachment 905535
Elemental sulfur has been used as a pesticide for hundreds if not thousands of years. It even kills broad mites. If sulfur is all you have to work with then you’re in good shape. Sulfur will lower pH of your soil so just be careful on how much you use in the soil.I am not able to find all of these brands in india...i searched all night yesterday all over the internet...i found some local brands and most of them were cheap not very expensive between 3-15 usd , i will try sulfur first because it will be easily available in offline stores i guess... if not i will order 3-4 types of pesticides for mites and hopefully one of them will work ; sulfur and de is easily available online here both of them cost 3-5 usd
Just the soil...they don't come on the plants...i guess they are eating chunks of vermicompost or breeding there because today i saw a lot of young ones to near chunks of vermicompostare you spraying the foliage and the soil or just the soil?
