Two-Spotted Spider Mite Infestation

These microscopic arachnids feed on the underside of broccoli leaves, injecting saliva that destroys plant cells. The fine webbing is a defensive silk structure created by the mite colonies to protect themselves and their eggs.

Very Common

1 Immediately spray the broccoli plants with an organic miticide to kill existing mites, larvae, and eggs.
2 Physically remove visible webbing and wipe the undersides of leaves with a damp cloth to disrupt mite colonies.
3 Monitor soil moisture levels closely, as spider mites thrive in hot, dry conditions; use a moisture meter to ensure consistent hydration.

Western Flower Thrips

Thrips can produce fine, silk-like threads while moving through the dense foliage of broccoli. While they primarily cause silvery scarring, their presence is often associated with web-like debris in developing heads.

Common

Fall Webworm (Early Stage)

In certain climates, young larvae of webworms may begin constructing small, fine silk structures around the terminal buds of brassicas like Broccoli Atlantis F1.
