Abstract

A 4-yr study on Valencia oranges near Fillmore, Ventura Co., California, indicated that a noninclusion virus disease was an important mortality factor in the suppression of populations of the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor), at both high (16 mites/leaf) and relatively low (2–3/leaf) densities. The phytoseiid mite, Ambyseius hibisci (Chant), apparently played a complimentary but secondary role in suppressing mite populations in this study.
