This book, which is divided into two parts, focuses on mites associated with citrus. The first part provides (i) an overview of the world's citriculture, species and varieties cultivated, and the importance of injurious mites; (ii) introduction to morphology and classification of mites; (iii) methods and techniques for collecting, preserving, preparing and rearing mites; (iv) feeding mechanisms, symptoms and plant damage; and (v) biological, chemical and integrated control. The second part consists of (i) a key to the identification of subfamilies, tribes, genera and species; and (ii) morphological characters, systematic outline, bio-ecology, natural enemies, symptomatology, damage and control of known species of Phytoptidae, Eriophyidae, Diptilomiopidae, Tarsonemidae, Tenuipalpidae, Tuckerellidae and Tetranychidae.
