The ABCs of Psyllid Management

Abstract

Getting rid of Asian citrus psyllids (ACP) from your grove is almost like trying to remove the sand off of a beach. You can bulldoze the great majority and make a huge noticeable impact but getting every last grain of sand will be impossible. What makes the prospect of ACP management more complex is that we want to achieve it in a manner that’s both economical, and environmentally sustainable. This article presents a recap of the basic steps that should facilitate the job.
