Abstract
Field populations of the European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), in Nova Scotia were separated into eggs, larvae, protonymphs, deutonymphs, and adults and the length of time each stage was present for each generation was determined in 1967 and 1968. The duration of each generation was similar in both years, although the diapause eggs hatched later in 1967 than in the succeeding year. Detailed information on the seasonal history is necessary in assessing red mite mortality and in timing of chemical controls of this pest.Keywords
