Spider
Mite outbreaks are commonly due to hot, dry conditions, particularly in
drought-stressed corn. Spider mites can be serious corn pests as they feed on
the undersides of leaves, eventually killing the leaf, leaving it with a
scorched or burned appearance. Manage
spider mite problems by preserving beneficial Insects and mites. Insecticides
directed against other corn pests can cause spider mite outbreaks.
