Concepts of Pest Management
The purpose of a citrus pest management program is to achieve satisfactory
long-range pest control, maximizing net profit to growers in an environmentally
compatible manner.

Mites: Description and
Biology
Mites represent the single most economically important group of Texas citrus
pests. The citrus rust mite together with the spider mite complex, including
citrus red mite and Texas citrus mite, are responsible for a major portion
of pest losses and require the bulk of pesticides used on citrus in Texas.
Authors: B. Cartwright, H.W. Browning
Orchard Spraying
Air carrier sprayers are used in citrus orchards to discharge a high velocity
of air for propelling and distributing pesticides throughout the trees.

Pest Management Guidelines
Field monitoring is the key to an integrated pest management program. When
performed systematically on a quantitative basis, it provides the information
needed to detect important changes in pest activity and disease incidence;
evaluate pesticide performance; and establish seasonal records for evaluating
and upgrading managerial decisions.
Authors: L. Smith, H.W. Browning, B. Cartwright
Rust Mite
The fruit can be scarred as a result of mite feeding. Early infestation
results in a sharkskinned fruit texture of tan color, and fruit
size is reduced.
Size: 1.3 K
Scales
Armored scales and soft scales are potential pests of Texas citrus. Both types
extract plant fluids causing leaf discoloration and leaf drop, death of small
twigs and failure of fruit to color properly. Biological control has been highly
effective for many species of scales.
