Acaricides were tested for control of citrus red mite populations in 2 tests in Riverside, Calif. A randomized block design was used with 4 single-tree replicates per treatment. Materials were applied using a Hardie hand-gun (single nozzle, no. 8 disk) at 450 lb/in2, (ca. 1200 gal/acre; 12 gal per tree) using a John Bean sprayer. Naked-eye counts of adult female mites on 32 leaves per tree (two four-leaf terminals per quadrant, top surface only) were made.
