Bio-efficacy and phytotoxicity of acaricides was tested against mites infesting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) orchard. The population of mites was effectively controlled by application of two sprays of bifenthrin 8% SC @ 1000 ml/ha followed by bifenthrin 8% SC @ 750 ml/ha. No phyto-toxicity symptoms were observed in plants as regards to leaf injury, wilting, vein cleaning, leaf necrosis, epinasty and hyponasty.
