Iv just been reading all I can on killing the russet mite in particular, here & different forums. I also called pesticide/miticide companies, Bonide, Bayer, Ed Rosenthal, afew others, not much help.
I also called Universities with horticulture programs, they directed me to "Master Gardener volunteers, most I spoke to didn't know much about the Russet Mite.
I also PM'ed a few growers here for their input.
Here's my recipe;
60ml/gal Azamax
Label strength of Avid
Warm water

Warm water helps dissolve the materials. The Avid label suggests the use of a horticultural oil as an extender so why not Azamax, as it is one and also happens to have is own mode of action?

Spray everything thoroughly top and bottom. Do it again in 7 days to interrupt their breeding cycle and that's it.

I've gotten them twice now and this recipe and technique wiped them out both times.

Should I use another product in between the applications ? Most with success say every three days
To break their breeding cycle.
