To maize cooperators,
We are having a serious problem with red spiders on the maize plants
that we are growing in the greenhouse. Our pest manager has been trying
oil, soap, and Pyrethrin. The first two aren't particularly effective,
while Pyrethrin is, but Pyrethin severely damages the plants. Has
anyone else solved the problem of red spiders in the greenhouse? If
so, I would surely appreciate learning what to do about them without
seriously damaging the maize plants.
