Citrus Growers Urged to Target Rust Mite Control Soon
Extension citrus pathologist-entomologist E F Debusk urges growers to focus on rust mite control over the next two months. Inspect groves weekly for five to six weeks, spray lime sulfur or sulfur dust at about 20 mites per square inch, and apply June oil emulsion for melanose and scale. Early, careful action may prevent heavy fruit drop and protect a potential large crop.
