Abstract
This document profiles the brown citrus aphid, Toxoptera citricida, a major pest of citrus. It details the aphid’s distribution, identification, life cycle, and host plants. The document also discusses the aphid’s role in transmitting citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and outlines management strategies, including cultural, biological, and chemical controls. First published October, 1996.
