Significant irregularities in shoot growth were noticed on three apple cultivars infested with Aculus schlechtendali. In cultivars numerously inhabited by the eriophyoid mite the growth of shoots, especially apical ones, was inhibited. Feeding of a small number of eriophyoids stimulated shoot growth. The rate of schoot elongation correlated with the size of this mite population
