Don't Spread the Asian Citrus Psyllid
CPDPC endorses “Best Practices for Growers in Response to HLB in California.”
To provide California citrus growers with a strong toolbox of
options to protect their orchards from Huanglongbing (HLB), the Citrus
Pest & Disease Prevention Committee has endorsed the following
“Best Practices for Growers in Response to HLB in California.” The
recommendations – which are grouped based on a grower’s proximity to
an HLB detection – represent the most effective tools known to the
citrus industry at this time and are meant to supplement the
California Department of Food and Agriculture’s required regulatory
response.
Growers are encouraged to use as many
methods as feasible for their operation in order to limit the spread
of the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) and HLB, as the cost to manage the
Asian citrus psyllid is far less than any potential costs or loss
to the industry should HLB take hold throughout our state.
