The study was conducted on mature 'Stuart' pecan trees at the Louisiana State University Pecan Research and Extension Station, Shreveport, Louisiana. A randomized block design was used consisting of 3 blocks with 1 tree per treatment per block. Applications of foliar applied materials were made on Aug 4 using an FMC 957 speed sprayer delivering approximately 30 gal of material per tree. All trees were sampled on Aug 6. Sampling consisted of counting the number of mites on leaflets 2 and 3 for 10 compound leaves per tree. Data were subjected to analysis of variance.
