Abstract
- The Asian citrus psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) transmits a bacterium responsible for huanglongbing, a serious citrus disease. Insecticidal control of the psyllid is a key tactic used to manage the disease, but host plant resistance may hold some promise and clues in the search for alternative tactics. Results of a field survey revealed that relatively large infestation densities of the psyllid developed on conventional Citrus (Rutaceae) and citrange (Rutaceae) cultivars but not on any of 6 Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf. (Rutaceae) cultivars. Poncirus trifoliata is a species closely related to Citrus, and citranges are hybrids of sweet orange and P. trifoliata. Reduced colonization by the psyllid on P. trifoliata was largely a result of reduced rates of oviposition. Poncirus trifoliata resistance to oviposition was not observed in 4 citrange cultivars.
