Citrus Rust Mite Control, 1980

Treatments were replicated 6 times in single tree plots (Table 1). An unsprayed buffer tree separated treated trees both within and between rows. The spray application was applied dilute with a handgun at 350 psi using a truck-mounted sprayer on Jun 6. Twenty fruit were examined at random around the canopy of each sample tree at various time intervals before and after spraying. A 1 cm2 area was examined on each of 2 shaded sides per fruit. The combined 2 cm2 count per fruit of motile CRM was recorded as one observation.
