Four growers previously on pesticide only programs were switched to an IPDM program. The goal is to monitor and document arthropod pest populations, greasy spot control and optimize beneficial mite populations. Effective disease control is essential while minimizing control of pest mites. Results to date are presented.
Species 1: Acari Eriophyidae Phyllocoptruta oleivora (citrus rust mite)
Species 2: Acari Eriophyidae Aculops pelekassi (pink citrus rust mite)
Species 3: Dothideales Mycosphaerella citri (greasy spot disease)
