MANAGEMENT of Huanglongbing

National and international quarantines are critical to minimize the potential of long-distance dissemination. Integrated pest management strategies are needed such as:

  • early detection,
  • chemical and biological control of the vectors,
  • potential chemical control of the Liberibacters using chemical and antibiotic treatments of trees,
  • isolation and protection of budwood sources and plant propagation in screened-in, insect-proof locations, and
  • development of resistant cultivars.
