Observations on the wheat curl mite, "Aceria tulipae" (K.) (Acarina, Eriophyidae) on wheat and sorghum sprouted under ripening wheat - USA : Kansas Entomological Society, 1957. - Printed

Observations in the field during 1953 and 1954 indicated that volunteer wheat which emerged through wheat straw seemed to have larger populations of the wheat curl mite than wheat starting on clean cultivated ground. The work recorded herein designed primarily to investigate this observation further. Additional abjetives were to observe the duration of mass movements of mites from ripening grain and to determine how long the mites, following migration, wuold remain on young sorghum plants compared with seedlings when both were planted in the inmmediate vicinity of the source of infestation.
