T. L. Archer, A. B. Onken, E. D. Bynum, Jr., G. C. Peterson. 1990. Banks grass mite (Oligonychus pratensis) abundance on sorghum cultivars with different levels of nitrogen use and metabolism efficiency. Experimental & Applied Acarology 9 (3-4): 177-182.

Keywords: the Banks mite abundance was recorded for three years on sorghum cultivars with different levels of nitrogen and metabolism efficiency, significantly more mites occurred at high N levels than at low N levels, mite densities were lower on N-use inefficient and N-metabolism efficient sorghum cultivars, physiological differences in N-use and metabolism inefficient cultivars may influence the amount of N plus the amount and form of amino acids and other N-based chemicals in sorghum leaves
