	The Biology and Management of the Persea Mite
		Persea mite is native to Mexico and damages avocados in arid regions, but it is not a major pest in the state of Michoacan where Hass avocado production is greatest.
		Measurements of persea mite feeding damage to leaves that have fallen from avocado trees to the ground indicates that average feeding damage to the leaf surface of fallen leaves is 15-22%.
		This predator is commonly found feeding within persea mite nests in late summer and predation by six-spotted thrips may hasten the decline of persea mite populations.

	K.U.Leuven - Fayum Project
		Since the persea tree is sacred to Chonsou (Baum 1988, 90) and the village had a temple of (Chonsou) Nephotes, the persea trees that gave their name to the village may well have been planted in front of the local temple.
		Persea was situated in the meris of Herakleides, probably in the vicinity of Pharbaithos (P.Petrie III 32a) and Sebennytos (P.Petrie III 32g).
		The sitologoi of Persea deliver grain for feeding the animals of the Cohors II Ituraeorum, which was stationed in the meris of Herakleides, probably near Karanis (BGU XI 2024, AD 204).

	UC IPM: UC Management Guidelines for Persea Mite on Avocado
		Persea mite, a recently introduced pest of avocados, occurs in most avocado-growing areas of California except the Central Valley.
		Persea mite is known to attack numerous other plant species such as willow, Malva spp., Prunus spp., Eucalyptus, carob, and many other plants.
		Numerous predators feed on persea mite: predaceous thrips, including sixspotted thrips (Scolothrips sexmaculatus), fl hunter thrips (Leptothrips mali), and Franklinothrips orizabensis; native predaceous mites (Euseius hibisci and Galendromus annectens); and the spider mite destroyer (Stethorus picipes).

	botany/persea
		The species of Persea grown for ornament will grow easily in any type of soil.
		They have large, leathery leaves, but if grown indoors, their leaves are much thinner and unless they are severely pruned back they'll grow on top of a tall, thin trunk.
		Persea americana, commonly known as the Avocado, can be grown outdoors only in the warmest parts of the U.S., such as southern Florida, southern California, and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

	Exploring for sources of resistance among Persea americana variety Guatemalensis and Persea schiedeana in Middle America
		Collections of species of Persea in Middle America for resistance to Phytophthora root rot in recent years have emphasised Guatamalan Criollos (Persea americana var guatemalensis) and the Coyou, Chucte, Chinini, or Jas (Persea schiedeana) from Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica.
		In 1952, when the second author began exploring for different species of Persea in Latin America (7), he became very interested in one group of avocados classified as P. schiedeana which is found from Chiapas (Mexico) to Central America and Panama.
		This species of Persea is found in four areas in Guatemala and is known by natives as Chucte and Coyou (3).

	Trees of the Maritime Forest - Persea borbonia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Persea borbonia sensu latu is the name given to all coastal redbays if one chooses not to distinguish between the two species.
		Persea borbonia grows in the sandy soils along the frontal dunes on the southern barrier islands, seen here wind sheared on Bald Head Island.
		To distinguish Persea borbonia from Persea palustris, note that on P. borbonia the twigs and leaf undersides are not brownish-hairy, and the hairs present are straight, silky and tightly appressed to the surface.

	Persea americana (Lauraceae) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The male floral organ, the stamens, occur in three to four trimerous whorls (Persea three), with the innermost whorl sterile and the third whorl having a pair of glands at the base.
		In Persea the nectaries are at the inner fertile whorl, and filaments are longer than the anthers.
		Reproductive biology: Flowers of Persea (and a few other genera of Lauraceae) can be protogynous, meaning the stigma is receptive before the pollen is shed, and protandrous, meaning the pollen is shed before the stigma is receptive, in the same individual.

		The Persea Mite has been introduced to almost all avocado growing areas in California.
		Persea mites have been controlled by two native predacious mites.
		A third non-native, predacious mite, Galendromus helveolus, brought into California by UC Riverside, is able to feed on the persea mite underneath it's webbing, and has proven effective for controlling persea mite populations.

	Avocados, Growing Seeds into Trees
		Thank You: Shirley- Gold Beach, Or Starting seeds
		The avocado tree (Persea americana), when grown by a hobby gardener is normally grown from seeds removed from ripened fruit.
		There are two acceptable methods of doing this, either by sprouting the seed in water or by actually planting the seed in soil.
