Abstract
THE red-legged earth mite and the lucerne flea are the two most important pasture pests of Western Australia.
They commonly retard the establishment of new pastures by causing serious damage to pasture legume seedlings and in some seasons can damage cereal crops.
This article describes the pests and gives current recommended control measures.
