Abstract

Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) is a serious weed and infests several crops in Mexico. At present, it is controlled by the use of herbicides. An experiment found Aceria malherbae Nuzzaci (Acari: Eriophyidae) a potential good candidate for biological control of this weed in Mexico.
