Abstract

The monthly fluctuations of Aceria sheldoni population were studied
on different citrus varieties at Eleonas in the Aegeon area. Growth cycles of the
trees and the seasonal climatic conditions affecting population size. The periods
of highest contraction of the population inside the buds and of dispersal are
determined as well as the appropriate time to check the growth of the population
by intervention. Predator mites, including Phytoseiidae seem little effective in
controlling A. sheldoni.
