Abstract: Materials were applied to 15-yr-old ‘Montmorency’ cherry trees in a commercial orchard near Hart, Mich. Ten treatments were replicated 4 times in a completely randomized block design. Each replicate consisted of a single tree. Treatments were applied on 15 Aug by a 32 TGM Meyer airblast sprayer traveling 2.5 mph and delivering 100 gal/acre. 50 leaf samples from each tree were taken randomly from the outer and inner canopy on 15 Aug as a precount before application and on 24 Aug, and 2 and 8 Sep. Mite counts were made from these leaves by brushing them in a mite-brushing machine and examining the resulting plates with a stereomicroscope and recording the number of mite eggs and active stages.
