A new predatory mite for the control of tomato spotted wilt

Description
Currently, no auxiliary is effective enough to control bronze mites in tomato crops. However, surveys in France have identified a new predatory mite capable of managing this problem. This auxiliary can be introduced into the crop using a relay plant and effectively control bronze mites. This intervention takes stock of the various studies carried out, from the laboratory to the field, and of the protection strategy developed.
