hey yall so last year i had a pretty severe russet mite problem. my farm is in humboldt county. me and a whole slew of other growers in the community battled last year for our crops.
my question is about what to do this year before plants are planted to reduce my risk of another breakout. we havent had the wettest of winters this year so in my case there wasnt too much snow. im at about 2300 to 2500ft above sea level. what things can i do to surrounding plants to insure they are not infected? should i even be worried about the bugs surviving the winter? products to use would be helpful. i know the one thing that worked for me last year better than any of the expensive biological products was sulfur powder. sprayed in early am and once the sun went down. we had them bad. i dont want to suffer through another year of craziness and depression.
thanks for the help yall
