Abstract
A “washing machine” was developed to recover spider mites, Tetranychus spp., from multiple-leaf samples of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., and procedures were developed to recover and count them. The equipment and procedures are described, and data are presented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of our leaf wash technique. The equipment and procedures have also been used for recovery and counting of insects and spider mites on grain heads and leaves of a variety of plant types.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
