The goal of this project is to develop integrated, sustainable and economically viable psyllid management programs for conventional and organic citrus producers and improved yields. Conventional growers are facing issues of unsatisfactory control, insecticide resistance, increased costs, and groves without beneficial insects. This is not only impacting management of ACP-HLB complex but also other pests which colonize citrus and their management. In our studies some organic programs have shown potential to provide significant reductions in psyllid populations and produce yields comparable to conventional program. These organic programs used insecticides such as�Azera, Aza-direct, Entrust, Grandevo, Microthiol, Pyganic, Surround, Venerate and in combination with HMO FL 435-66. Naturally occurring populations of the predators such as spiders, lacewings and ladybeetles and parasitoid�Tamatixia radiata released on regular basis in these programs were additional factors which contributed to psyllid control and yields. This project is focused on developing IPM programs for conventional and organic growers to control ACP. The proposed IPM program for conventional growers will include synthetic and organic insecticides including biopesticide products to complement conventional products. These rotations will help reduce the risk of insecticide resistance which results from continuous exposure to insecticides of similar modes of action, and thus reduce the need for more applications and cost. The IPM program for organic producers will include organic insecticides including biopesticides and oils. It will benefit conventional growers by demonstrating the strengths and limitations of such programs. The conventional only and HMO only programs will serve as comparison against IPM programs with more tools available from both production systems to evaluate costs and benefits. These programs will also provide opportunities for beneficial insects to enhance biological control, which has been diminishing through the constant use of the hard chemistry insecticides. Naturally occurring populations of predators and parasitoids and additional introductions of commercial predators and mass reared Tamarixia will further strengthen these program. Sampling of the experimental block designated for IPM programs in the Gulf region revealed psyllid populations at 0.3 adults per tap sample. Spiders and lacewings averaged at 0.14 and 0.05 per tap sample, respectively. Spray applications in different IPM programs will begin after the block is harvested in April. Positions for the postdoc and temporary assistant were announced and applicants being evaluated.� �
