Asian Citrus Psyllid Identification
I was asked recently to put together a photo identification sheet for Asian citrus psyllid adults, nymphs and eggs. To obtain a copy, see my web site under Citrus Insect Pests/Asian Citrus Psyllid/Monitoring- Recognizing ACP Stages or click on this link: http://ucanr.edu/sites/KACCitrusEntomology/Home/Asian_Citrus_Psyllid/Monitoring/
It is very important that PCAs go beyond relying on yellow sticky cards and learn to recognize the psyllid stages and monitor orchards using visual surveys of flush and tap sampling. These methods will speed up detection of the psyllid in new areas and determine if treatments are effective in areas where the psyllid has established.
