Abstract
DDT did not increase the fecundity of females of the European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), exposed to it either before or after they had matured. The mites were repelled by DDT on leaves in the laboratory but their distribution on twigs in the orchard was not affected.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
