Key Findings
- The study, conducted in southeastern Norway, identified both plant-feeding and predatory mites on raspberry crops
- Phytophagous mites preferred the upper zone of cultivated raspberries and the middle zone of non-cultivated raspberries
- The presence of phytophagous mites did not cause raspberry leaf blotch disorder during the study period
