Abstract

Three formulations of 10% aldicarb (as a coke powder, as a granular coke, and as granular corncob grits) were applied, at doses that were 1/4 and 1/2 the manufacturers’ recommended rate, to soil around potted sweet orange seedlings in the greenhouse and under 1-year-old navel oranges in the field, respectively, to suppress Panonychus citri (McGregor). The biossays with the greenhouse seedlings did not show statistically significant difference in mortality of mites for the 3 formulations, and all caused better than 82% mortality for 16 weeks. In the field where the populations of mites were small, the mean suppression by all 3 formulations was 95% for 52 weeks.
