Broad mites, spider mites and whiteflies are the principal pests of eggplant in Florida, with at least one or both of the mites requiring chemical intervention for optimal yield. Greenhouse-raised eggplant seedlings were transplanted on 21 Feb at 18 inch spacing in single rows on a set of 3 beds, and covered with polyethylene film mulch. Approximately 25 % of the fertilizer was preplant soil incorporated (granular 15-0-15) with the remainder applied as liquid 8-0-8 delivered by drip irrigation. A 120 ft length section of each row was used in this experiment. Plots were 20 ft long assigned across the 3 beds, 4 times in a randomized complete block design. The first application was made on 11 Apr using an EZ-Dose sprayer with a pressure of 45 psi and a flow rate of 3.7 gpm. Treatments were applied at 20 gpa. A high clearance sprayer was used on 11 May for the second application operating at 200 psi and 2.3 mph with the spray delivered through two vertical booms using yellow Albuz® hollow cone nozzles that applied 10 gpa each for a total of 80 gpa. All stages of mites and whitefly preimaginal stages were monitored on 23-Apr, 1, 10, 18, 23, 31-May, and 7-Jun by collecting a young leaf from 5 plants in each plot and examining under a stereoscopic microscope. Eggplants were harvested on 16 and 30 May and total number of fruit and weight were recorded. Broad mite damage to fruit was rated as: 0 = no damage, 1 = slight tarnishing of calyx, 2 = moderate browning of calyx, 3 = severe browning and pitting of calyx, 4 = fruit with damage. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and means separated with Fisher’s Protected LSD P = 0.05.
