....Spider mite feeding damage on tomato leaves normally consists of fine necrotic speckling that is economically unimportant until the mite population is quite large. However, populations of green and red forms of spider mites have been found causing more severe damage symptoms at various locations. Foster and Barker (1978) first reported the symptoms, which consist of premature chlorosis of infested leaflets which subsequently wither and die. This hyper necrotic response by tomato plants to spider mite feeding was reported sporadically in southern UK during the 1980s and became increasingly common during the early ....
