Abstract

IN MID JULY, a heavily bearing six-year-old Bartlett pear orchard infested with two-spotted mites was offered to the Extension Service for the remainder of the season for the purpose of testing acaricides. Since the fruit from this orchard was not to enter commercial channels, it afforded an opportunity to test unregistered acaricides.
