Abstract:

Pomello and lemon seedlings kept for different time periods in various nutrient solutions were examined for their degree of infestation with Aceria sheldoni (Ewing), the citrus bud mite. Chemical analyses indicated that seedling leaves and buds had a higher nitrogen content in a potassium-free solution, and a lower nitrogen content in a nitrogen-free solution, when compared with their respective contents in a standard solution; in buds these differences were also shown by certain amino acids. Infested seedlings kept in a potassium-free solution had significantly more mites than those kept in a nitrogen-free solution, and the latter had significantly fewer mites than those kept in a standard solution. No increase in mite populations was noted on seedlings kept in high-nitrogen solutions. The relationship between the levels of potassium, nitrogen, magnesium and manganese and the mite population is discussed. No effect on mite reproduction was noted when sodium or calcium was used as a substitute for potassium. © 1975, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
