UC Agriculture and Natural Resources is working with the citrus industry and the state to wage an all-out battle against the Asian citrus psyllid (the insect) and huanglongbing (the disease it spreads) that are threatening Californias citrus.
The state of California has strict regulations and methods in place to ensure that citrus trees are tested for pathogens to verify that they are free of disease before they are sold.
ACP is currently found only in Southern California. The majority of commercial citrus is grown in Central California. If ACP can be prevented from spreading, it minimizes quarantine and export issues and reduces the threat to Central Valley citrus production.

A multi-grafted tree in a Hacienda Heights backyard was the first in California to be found infected with HLB. Finding HLB-infected trees and eliminating them before ACP picks up the disease and spreads it to neighboring trees is a major challenge.
Managing psyllids with insecticides and biological control doesnt eliminate the entire population, and it is difficult to remove HLB-infected trees fast enough to stay ahead of the disease spread.
