Abstract

In the first generation brown mite, Bryobia rubrioculus (Scheuten), on apple inhabits the wood as well as the leaves. To eliminate sampling the wood, which is very tedious and time consuming, equations were developed to describe the total population of immature stages and adults from observations of the number of mites on the leaves alone.

Résumé

Au cours de la première génération, le tétranyque brun du pommier, Bryobia rubrioculus (Scheuten), se retrouve aussi bien sur le bois que sur les feuilles. Pour éviter l'échantillonnage du bois qui est une tâche très longue et fastidieuse, on a élaboré des équations pour décrire la population totale de spécimens des stades immatures et d'adultes à partir d'observations du nombre de tétranyques trouvés sur les seules feuilles.
