Data from: Comparison of the performance of an eriophyid mite, Aceria salsolae, on nontarget plants in the laboratory and in the field

These data measure changes in population size of the eriophyid mite, Aceria salsolae, on target and nontarget plants in the laboratory and field experiments to help assess host plant specificity and suitability as a biological control agent of Russian thistle, Salsola tragus.
