Control methods: ① After autumn tea, spray Bomei 0.5-degree sulfur mixture before the end of June 165438+ 10 to reduce the population base of overwintering insects. ② Multiple picking in batches can reduce the insect population. ③ Spray 20% pyridaben or 15% mirex 2000-3000 times or 25% chlorpyrifos 800- 1000 times before the peak period.
4. Acaricide: also known as acaricide and acaricide.
