Methods of protection
- Monitor the vineyard to assess the risk although there is no defined threshold. If its presence is confirmed and the population density is high, it is advisable to intervene early in the season.
- Use acaricides * ( e-phy ). It can be applied at 2 periods: in spring and in summer.
- The high temperatures during bud break promote the development of the vines and reduce damage. Note that grape varieties with glabrous leaves are less colonized by mites.
