Abstract

The broad mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) causes serious damage to apical leaves of pepper seedlings
(Capsicum annuum L.) into nursery of plastic houses. Population density and seedling damage were estimated after
artificial mite infestation of pepper seedling varieties traveta, top star and habeba, with unfolded first, second, and third
