Mites Injurious to Economic Plants

We have attempted to present in this book a digest of available information on the mites known to produce injury to plants of economic importance, that is, those plants used for food, fiber, or aesthetic purposes. The need for such a publication has been brought to our attention by students, entomologists, pesticide advisors, and growers. The intent of the volume is to provide general information on mite distribution, injury, biology, and response to chemical applications, and to aid in their identification in the field and from prepared specimens.
