| Cyclamen mite Phytonemus pallidus, is one of the most serious pest of several greenhouse crops, ornamental plants and other crops, which were reported, from Kordestan and Southern Kerman provinces recently. In 2017 - 18 growing season this pest dispersed rapidly in the most Jiroft strawberry greenhouses and created a lot of damages. Cyclamen mite adults are small, 0.25 mm long and yellow in color, that the immature forms are 0.1 mm long and opaque white. This mite is compatible with high relative humidity and balanced temperature. It is especially important in strawberry plantations and fall cultures and damages to leaves, flowers and fruits.. Symptoms of cyclamen mite feeding include deforming, curling, bronzing and browning of leaves, plant stunting, aborting of flowers and fruits. As the mite can be easily transported with young plants to new plantations, so the most important control methods include use of healthy seedlings, warm water treatment for seedlings and corms and application of some acaricides like abamectine and piridaben with high volume | ||
