Abstract
Seasonal density and relationship between broad mites, Polyphagotarsonemus Latus (Banks), and limes were investigated. Relative density of broad mites was greater during May and June than at other times of the year. Data from laboratory experiments indicated that broad mites injure limes 4-12 d after feeding begins. Curvilinear and simple linear regressions represent the relationship between broad mite days and percentage fruit surface damage, and between mite days and percentage fruit damaged per tree. Economic injury.
