What exactly are bulb mites? Need to look into the foods that the mites
actually eat - are they truly plant consumers, or actually fungal feeders? We
have seen over and over again that insects that people think eat plants actually
eat fungi, but when their source of food is gone, they then attack seedlings
and roots. When the plants get bigger, it's not a problem, but when just
germinating, it can be a real problem.

So, something more about the mite?
