<<Is there anything besides herbicides/pesticides that is a more organic treatment for mites?>>

Rain which is hard to get this year. Last time mites were a problem was back in 1988.

FS sprayed Dimethoate 400 on them using a Hi-Boy sprayer. In most cases when crops need to be sprayed, farmers hire trained people who use special equipment.
