Can planting a clover lawn attract clover mites?

Yes, planting a clover lawn can attract clover mites. The arachnids in question (Bryobia praetiOSa Koch) feed upon clovers and grasses. The unwelcome predation will be less devastating or likely when proper light, moisture, nutrient and temperature requirements are observed for clover lawns since clover mites prioritize over-fertilized, over-watered yards.
