| | The Biology and Management of the Persea Mite |
 | | Measurements of persea mite feeding damage to leaves that have fallen from avocado trees to the ground indicates that average feeding damage to the leaf surface of fallen leaves is 15-22%. | | | Persea mite is native to Mexico and damages avocados in arid regions, but it is not a major pest in the state of Michoacan where Hass avocado production is greatest. | | | This predator is commonly found feeding within persea mite nests in late summer and predation by six-spotted thrips may hasten the decline of persea mite populations. |

| | In contrast to persea mite's poor survival in water, some predatory mites are known to survive in water by floating, though we have not yet tested Galandromus survival in water. | | | Persea mites, Olygonichus persea, are small yellowish spider mites living in colonies and spinning very fine silvery or whitish webbing along veins on the undersides of leaves. | | | Typically, persea mite populations peak in summer and decline during hot spells [100 F, particularly when humidity is low] and cooler weather. |

| | Persea and Phytophthora in Latin America |
| | Avocado is in the subgenus Persea, and all of the highly resistant species are in Eriodaphne. | | | This fungus causes the most serious problem on avocado in most of the countries where that crop is grown (Zentmyer, 1980); it causes a rot primarily of the feeder roots, often with rapid decline and death of the trees. | | | Coincidental with the collection of avocado and other species of Persea, a survey was made for the occurrence of Phytophthora cinnamomi in the same area. |
