Experiment was laid out in RBD design with seven treatments comprised of pruning of affected twigs (July & October) and miticides (chlorfenapyr & spiromesifen) sprayed twice in July and once in October months to evaluate the efficacy of various integrated approaches. Results revealed that initial mite infestation ranged from 31.9 to 45.9%. During 2017–18, no mite infestation was recorded from October to fruiting stage in pruning and removal of affected twigs followed by two spraying of chlorfenapyr 10 EC (0.03%) or spiromesifen 22.9 SC (0.034%) at 15 days interval during July and again pruning in October with one spraying of chlorfenapyr or spiromesifen against 89.0% in control at fruiting stage, followed by no pruning in October along with spraying of chlorfenapyr with 7.6% mite infestation at flowering stage. Similar trend in 2018–19 confirmed that pruning in July and October followed spraying of miticides (chlorfenapyr or spiromesifen) twice in July and once in October were highly effective against litchi mite.
