Controlling ACP and Other Pests as Critical as Ever

Resumen

More than a decade has passed since 2006, when huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease was identified in Florida. By then, the disease had already spread widely and went unrecognized due to high psyllid populations and a disease incubation period of months or years between infection and symptom expression. Nevertheless, management of the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) vector is still critical to reduce disease severity in infected trees and spread into new plantings.
