To evaluate the damage of broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), on pepper growth and yield, broad mite females were infested on pepper seedlings. In plots infested with 1, 2, and 5 females/plant, pepper growth was significantly reduced after 10 weeks with growth rates of 264, 256, and 177%, respectively, while that of control plot was 337%. Total pepper yields in the plots infested with 1, 2, and 5 females/plant were 443.9, 230. 5, and 103.4 kg/lOa, respectively, which were significantly lower than 1, 197.5 kg/lOa of the control plot. Dicofol EC, Chinomethionat WP, Pyridaben WP, and Pyraclofos WP were effective in controlling the broad mite on pepper showing over 90% mortality by 17 days after application. Although the updated reports on the nationwide occurrence of the broad mite damage on pepper showed that most damages were occurring in greenhouses between October and March, damages were observed in late May in certain locality.
