Broad Mites
Broad mites (Polyphagotarsonemus latus) are microscopic pests measuring only 0.25mm, making them nearly invisible to the naked eye. These arthropods feed on meristematic tissues at growing tips, injecting toxic saliva that severely damages new growth. They prefer warm, humid environments and reproduce rapidly, with females laying eggs every 2-3 days. The damage appears weeks after initial infestation, making early detection extremely difficult.
