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.
