Our team is conducting research on how best to control Asian citrus psyllid with foliar and systemic insecticides in commercial and nursery citrus and to manage pesticide resistance. Our efforts help to reduce ACP spread into areas of California where it is not well-established, slow the spread of HLB in southern California, delay the appearance of pesticide resistant ACP populations, integrate biological control with insecticides to the greatest extent possible, reduce the potential for secondary pest outbreaks and provide control of other pest species when ACP treatments are applied.
