Abstract

A list of mites (Acarina) on leaves, twigs, and trunk from 10 sprayed and 13 nonsprayed apple orchards in North Carolina during the period 1968–70 was prepared. This list was compared with similar but less extensive study conducted in 1954. The phytoseiid, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) was the dominant phytoseiid in sprayed orchards in 1968–70 but was not collected in 1954. Eighty-one species of mites (26 gamasids, 39 actinedids, 4 acarids, and 12 oribatids) have been recorded from apple trees in North Carolina.
