What is red spider?

The red spider ( Tetranychus urticae ) is a tiny mite that, despite its size (approximately 0.5 mm), can cause great damage to plants.

• Appearance: Red, yellow or greenish depending on the stage of development.
• Life cycle: It has a very fast cycle, especially in warm climates, allowing it to multiply in a matter of days.
• Feeding: It pierces the leaves to suck the sap, weakening the plant and causing visible symptoms.

Where does it appear and why?

The red spider is a very common pest in hot and dry climates, although it can also proliferate in indoor crops or greenhouses where conditions are stable and favorable.

Factors that favor its appearance:

1. Warm climate: High temperatures accelerate their reproductive cycle.
2. Dry environments: The lack of humidity favors their development and survival.
3. Stressed plants: Plants with water or nutritional stress are more vulnerable.

Damage caused:

• Yellow or silver spots on the leaves: These are the result of sap sucking.
• Fine webs: In severe infestations, spider mites form small webs on the undersides of leaves or between stems.
• General weakening of the plant: It can affect the production and quality of the crop, especially in hemp.
