Mites feed on individual plant cell contents on the underside of leaves.Mites suck on the bottom sides of soybean leaves, removing plant moisture and nutrients, resulting in a yellow or whitish spotting on the top side of the leaf surface. In heavy infestations, it\'s common to see leaf burning and stippling.\r\nHot spots will typically be noticed first on field margins, as infested plants take on a wilted appearance. Drought-prone fields or field areas that contain lighter soils or sands are often affected first by spider mites. As populations increase, two-spotted spider mites will move across the entire field if left unchecked.
