Pheromone trapping for control of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We study the impact of pheromone control against the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, a principal vector of diseases in citrus cultures. The model is expressed as a piecewise smooth ODE system, and its long-term behavior is analyzed. In particular, through qualitative analysis and applying an open-loop control approach, we identify the threshold

A simple and effective VIGS system facilitates the control of citrus canker by silencing CsLOB1

open access: yesPhytopathology Research
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful technology for molecular characterization of gene functions in plants and has the potential to prevent and control plant diseases.

Organic Citrus: Challenges in Production and Trade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Organic citrus still is a niche and makes about 1-2% of the global citrus production. However, it is increasing year-by-year in parallel with the increasing demand for organic products.

Neuropeptide Ecdysis‐Triggering Hormone and Its Receptor Mediate the Fecundity Improvement of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’‐Infected Diaphorina citri Females and CLas Proliferation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In CLas‐infected D. citri, CLas lowers 20E levels initially, relieving the suppression of ETH release. The subsequent increase in ETH levels upregulates its receptor DcETHR and activates the JH signaling pathway. The signaling cascade of 20E‐ETH/ETHR‐JH along with miR‐210, targeting DcETHR, boost female fecundity in CLas+ D.

Pathogenicity of Heterorhabditis indica against developmental stages of Eudocima materna L. (Lepidoptera, Erebidae)

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2022
Background Virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis indica against larvae (3rd, 4th and 5th larval instars) and pupae of citrus fruit piercing moth, Eudocima materna L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) was evaluated under laboratory conditions.

Wood Biomolecules as Agricultural Adjuvants for Effective Suppression of Droplet Rebound from Plant Foliage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lignin and hemicellulose are used to develop agricultural adjuvants to decrease agrochemical run‐off from foliage, by suppressing droplet rebound and enhancing adhesion of aqueous solutions on plant leaves. The wood components combine surface activity with surface pinning effects and to improve by tenfold the droplet rebound in citrus leaves ...

Evaluation of the resistance of few citrus rootstocks to alkalinity by applying a faste test of secreening [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Alkalinity of Moroccan soils is the major abiotic constraint on citrus production area. The best choice of citrus rootstocks adequate and resistant is a better solution to avoid this problem.

Investigating HLB control strategies using Genetic Algorithms: A two-orchard model approach with ACP Dispersal [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
This study focuses on the use of genetic algorithms to optimize control parameters in two potential strategies called mechanical and chemical control, for mitigating the spread of Huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus orchards. By developing a two-orchard model that incorporates the dispersal of the Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP), the cost functions and objective ...
