What are the control methods for bulb mites on lilies?
Control methods for bulb mites on lilies: 1. Crop rotation and changing the crop for 4a. When planting lilies along a slope, plant from the bottom upward to reduce the spread of pathogens. 2. Select bulbs free of disease, mites and mechanical injury as seed stock, or mix into farmyard manure and apply, or apply together with irrigation water; or use 2% isofenphos-methyl powder at 2 to 3 kg per 667 sq m mixed with 25 to 30 kg of fine soil to make poisonous soil, or use 3% isofenphos-methyl granules, or 3% carbofuran granules, or 5% phoxim granules, or 5% diazinon granules, at 2.5 to 3 kg per 667 sq m to treat the soil, all of which can achieve good results and also control wireworms and mole crickets. 4. Chemical treatment of seed. The chemicals currently used for seed dressing are mainly 50% phoxim, 50% parathion, 20% isofenphos-methyl, and their dosage is generally 1 part chemical to 30 to 40 parts water; 400 to 500 parts seed; 25% phoxim capsule or 25% parathion capsule and other organophosphorus chemicals may also be used. Or dress the seed with 35% carbofuran seed coating agent at 2% of the seed weight. This can also control wireworms, mole crickets and other underground pests. 5. Poisoned bait. Per 667 sq m, use 150 to 200 g of 25% parathion or phoxim capsule mixed with about 5 kg of bait such as millet, or 50 to 100 g of 50% parathion or phoxim emulsifiable concentrate mixed with 3 to 4 kg of bait, and scatter it in the seed furrow to also control mole crickets, wireworms and other underground pests.
