One of Mark Seed’s customers in Correctionville, IA has confirmed the presence of spider mites.  If you have some yellowing spots in your fields, it may be sandy soil or an infestation of spider mites.   They appear to be just affecting the earlier varieties at this point but this does not mean that the later varieties are unaffected or safe.  Contact your current or local chemical representative for the best method to spray and treat them.  You will want to make sure to spray the appropriate chemical that will not kill the beneficial insects that are eating the spider mites



If you have any questions, please give us a call or your current representative
