Abstract


Next to paddy (Oryza sativa), cholam (Sorghum) is the most important cereal in the Madras Presidency. It is subject to a variety of pests such as the earhead bug (Calocoris angustatus), the shoot bug (Pundaluoya simplicia), the stem borer (Chilo simplex), the Deccan grasshopper (Colemania sphenarioides) and the mite (Paratetra- nychus indicus). The present paper deals with certain observations made on the life history and remedial measures tried in regard to the last named, namely the cholam mite.
