In order to control the citrus rust mite, adult orange-trees were submmited to the following treatments: A) check; B) pyrethroid S-604, 102g; C) S-604, 153g; D) S-604, 204g; E) juvenoid S-599, 22g; F) S-599, 44g; G) bromopropilate, 530g (standard treatment). Each tree was sprayed with 7.0 liters of liquid (water plus pesticide). Four evaluations were made: two days before spraying and 05, 19 and 40 days after the spraying. All treatments were efficient up to forty days after spraying. In the last evaluation the mite population had decreased to almost none.
