HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Dozens of species attack shade trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. The two-spotted spider mite overwinters as an adult in the soil; the honeylocust mite overwinters as an adult in bark crevices on the trunk and branches. Most other common species on trees and shrubs overwinter as tiny round eggs on leaves or bark.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eggs, larvae, active females and females in diapause were all killed by freezing at temperatures corresponding to their supercooling points. While freezing is fatal to the mites, they are able to survive temperatures below 0   in a supercooled state.
