In Peru, citrus production areas (mandarins, tangelos, oranges, lemons and grapefruit) are concentrated on the Peruvian coast, with mandarins being the most cultivated in their different varieties. In terms of national mandarin production: Lima has 57% of total production, followed by Ica with 22% (MINAGRI, 2014). The Peruvian coast presents agroclimatic conditions such as warm temperatures and high humidity, which are favorable conditions for the development of the citrus rust mite Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead), whose damage causes staining or tanning in the fruit and affects the internal quality of the fruit where the concentration of sugars increases due to the loss of water because of the bites. In integrated pest management, different strategies and techniques have to be used. One of them is pruning, which is a physical control that eliminates branches of low vigor and low productivity to achieve a good entry of light into the tree; on the other hand, the cultural control of washing plants helps to eliminate the presence of dust on foliage, lichens on the branches and trunk. In chemical control, the action thresholds indicate the appropriate moment for the use of acaricides, these values are obtained from the evaluations of the toast mite, and from this to elaborate the population fluctuation that will show the critical periods for the control of Phyllooptruta oleivora. All these strategies together help in the adequate sanitary management of the citrus rust mite.
