Title: Asian citrus psyllid management in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Abstract: This chapter focuses on the main management strategies used by citrus growers for Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) control in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Control strategies include monitoring and phytosanitary alert system, chemical control, biological control, and external actions. Farm size and the presence or absence of neighbor areas without ACP control are important factors determining the success or failure of Huanglongbing (HLB) management. While these factors are not under direct control of the grower, implementation of a rigorous ACP control program inside and outside the farm can stabilize or reduce the annual (HLB) infection rate (percentage of new HLB-symptomatic trees found per year).
