N levels were generally inadequate as were P levels, though less seriously so. K levels were inadequate in some areas and excessive in others. There were some associations between nutrient status and levels of damage by Aceria guerreronis. Damage generally increased with increasing levels of N. At one site K was associated with decreasing mite damage UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y6nUmRiIzwyTai4p9ySW_CEzXj2lbioV/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
