Mites are tiny, sap-sucking creatures that can infest jasmine crops, causing damage to the leaves, flowers, and overall health of the plant. The most common type of mite found on jasmine is the jasmine eriophyid mite (Aceria jasmini). Mites have two main body parts: a fused head and thorax (cephalothorax) and an abdomen. They have four pairs of legs as adults (though some larvae only have three), and their bodies are often covered in hairs or spines. Mites do not have wings and cannot fly.

Scientific name: Aceria jasmine

Type: Insect

Target: Undersides of leaves, Flower buds, Growing tips

Damage: stippling on the upper surface of leaves, webbing

Environmental favorable factors for pests/Diseases:

High temperatures (above 80°F) and low humidity (below 50%) favor the development and reproduction of mites.

Symptoms of Pest/Disease:

Stippling or bronzing of leaves: This is caused by the mites feeding on the sap, which damages the chlorophyll-producing cells in the leaves.
Deformed or stunted growth: Mites can stunt the growth of new leaves and flower buds.
Presence of fine webbing: The jasmine eriophyid mite creates a fine, white webbing on the undersides of leaves and on flower buds.
