Guidelines for Asian Citrus Psyllid and Citrus Greening Disease Management in Commercial Citrus Production

Abstract

Citrus growers are essential to protecting Arizona’s citrus industry from the spread of HLB. Consistent monitoring for ACP and early disease symptoms, combined with timely and effective management practices, can significantly reduce the risk of infection. Reporting infected trees to the appropriate authorities and following recommended control strategies can help prevent the spread of both the vector and the disease. Cooperation of growers and pest control advisors is vital; HLB management is most successful when efforts are coordinated across regions. By staying informed and proactive, we can help preserve the health, productivity, and future of citrus groves across the state. Your actions make a lasting impact.
