Grrrrr! I went out to take a photo of the damage and found even more plants have broadmites. Friday was the last day I had been in the greenhouse and what a difference three days make. We worked the cattle this week-end so I didn't have time to spray. It's now clear I have to spray everything. The plants showing the most damage didn't photograph well, but this photo shows the thickened and curved leaves on a different plant. I also discovered I have spider mites too. Will Avid take care of spidermites as well or do I have to use a different spray? Does keeping the greenhouse on the cool side encourage problems? The thermostat is set at 45ºF. Is that too cold? I'd prefer 50º, but 45º is a compromise with he who switches the tanks, DH. Temperatures in the greenhouse fluxuate between a low of 43º to a high of 85º+.

Jpotts, What is AS and which oils?
