Abstract
The fecundity of the European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), reared on leaves from an abandoned peach orchard was equal to that of mites on leaves from a cultivated orchard, but the development of immature stages was slightly slower on leaves from the abandoned orchard. Poor nutritional state of the foliage is apparently not responsible for the very low population density of the mite in abandoned peach orchards.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
