Differential water and imidacloprid transport under unsaturated Florida citrus field conditions
Abstract Citrus production in Florida declined in the past 20 years by >72% due to citrus greening disease which is vectored by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). Extensive use of pesticides such as imidacloprid (IDP) to manage ACP raises concerns of environmental pollution to shallow groundwater in citrus orchards dominated by sandy soils.

Controlling ACP and Other Pests as Critical as Ever
More than a decade has passed since 2006, when huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease was identified in Florida. By then, the disease had already spread widely and went unrecognized due to high psyllid populations and a disease incubation period

Prey - Predator Relationship between the Asian Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina Citri Kuwayama) and the Metallic Blue Ladybeetle (Curinus Coeruleus Mulsant [PDF]
The Asian citrus pyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is one of the citrus most notable pests of economic importance, owing not only to the direct damages caused but also indirect ones.

A method of insect recognition based on spectrogram [PDF]
A novel approach to insect recognition is presented in this paper. The difference between the proposed method with traditional methods is that it starts from the perspective of image and combines voice processing algorithms with image processing ...

Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Combining NMR– and LC–HRMS–based metabolomics reveals that root and leaf metabolic changes in boxwood predated by box–tree moth occur at the same density of predation for both central and specialized metabolisms. Abstract The recent biological invasion of box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis on Buxus trees has a major impact on European boxwood stands ...

First Records of Parasitoids Attacking the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), in Hawaii [PDF]
amarixia sp. prob. radiata (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and Diaphoren- cyrtus aligharensis (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), two natural enemies released against the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) in various areas around the world, were discovered ...

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Gas Biosensor Arrays Based on Single-Stranded DNA-Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for the Detection of Volatile Organic Compound Biomarkers Released by Huanglongbing Disease-Infected Citrus Trees. [PDF]
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by plants are closely associated with plant metabolism and can serve as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening or yellow shoot disease, is a lethal threat to the ...
