Nitrogen fertilisation influences tea yields, quality and pests infestation levels. Red spider mites reduce tea production in western Kenya during prolonged droughts. Nitrogen fertiliser use maybe an agronomic practice that may influence infestation levels by mites. Overhead volatile compounds (OVOCs) composition also influences infestations of tea by mites. Influence of nitrogenous fertiliser rates on red spider mite infestations and OVOCS levels was determined. Mites populations varied (pd>0.05) with nitrogenous fertiliser rates. High infestations were at 0 and 300 kg N/ha/year, and sharp decline between 150 and 225 kg N/ha/year. Green leaf volatiles increased while some aromatic and terpenoid compounds decreased with increasing nitrogenous fertiliser rates. Significant (pd>0.05) direct linear regressions between 1-penten-3-ol, 3-penten- 2-ol, E-2-hexenal, Z-3-hexenyl acetate and inverse relationship between 2-phenyl ethanol, ethyl benzene, -methyl styrene, longifolene and ß-cedrene and nitrogenous fertiliser rates were observed. Most aromatic and terpenoid compounds, which are repellents of mites, were highest between 150 and 225 kg N/ha/year where infestations by mites were lowest. The recommended fertiliser rates of 100 to 225 kg N/ha/year in Kenya also produce most repellents of mites, protecting tea plants against infestations. Use of recommended nitrogen rates can protect tea from infestations by mites.

The Tetranychidae family includes mites causing severe damage to agricultural fields. The red spider mite, Tetranychus merganser Boudreaux (Acari: Tetranychidae), causes severe damage to several plant species grown as cash crops. Current red spider mite control depends mainly on chemical insecticides. There is a need for alternate control measures that are environmentally friendlier than chemical pesticides. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf ethanolic extract at different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20% (v/v)) against T. merganser females. Such effects can serve as a basis to include this compound in integrated pest management programs for the control of red spider mites. Mites treated with 20% (v/v) killed 86.67%, 13.70%, and 96.30% at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively, as compared to the control treatment. Oviposition, egg hatching, and the damage caused by red spider mites were all reduced at high concentrations. Moringa oleifera leaf ethanolic extract can be used as a powerful bioacaricide for the control of T. merganser.
