Turnaround Time:
2 - 4 days


Method Description
Russet mites are microscopic arthropod pests that feed on cannabis plants, causing bronzing of leaves, reduced resin production, and significant yield losses. These mites are particularly problematic because they are extremely small and difficult to detect until damage becomes severe. Testing is important for cannabis growers because russet mite infestations can quickly spread throughout facilities and severely impact both yield and product quality.
