Abstract
Abstract The experiment was conducted at the City of Fort Collins Timberline Tree Nursery located in southwest Fort Collins, CO. Three-year old littleleaf linden trees (approx. 5 ft tall, 1 in dbh) were used in the experiment. Trees were already infested with high populations of eriophyid mites prior to the com-mencement of the experiment. Plots in the experiment consisted of individual tree branches treated with insecticides. Plot design was a RCB with 5 repli-cates, each tree serving as a replicate. Treatments were applied on 6 Aug to the point of run-off with a hand-held pump mist sprayer. Plots were sampled on 8 and 14 Aug. Five individual leaves from each branch unit were removed on each sampling date. Leaves were placed in plastic bags and returned to the laboratory and refrigerated until examination. Each leaf was examined under at 40× with a dissecting scope for the presence of eriophyid mites in the field of view along 5 major leaf veins. The mean number of mites per 5 leaves (25 major veins) is presented.
