citriculture

'Rangpur' lime (Citrus limonia Osb.) is the most important rootstock for the Brazilian citriculture, because of several reasons, such as tolerance to water stress, compatibility with most canopy cultivars, and good yield induction (OLIVEIRA et al., 2008).

Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera, Liviidae), the Asian citrus psyllid (Ouvrard, 2017), threatens citriculture worldwide as the vector of the causative bacterium of huanglongbing (HLB), Candidatus Liberibacter spp.

Citriculture is of great economic importance globally, with the principal production areas concentrated in Brazil, the United States of America, India, and China (OECD-FAO 2015).

Because of the extensive mining of young shoots caused by this pest it is considered a serious threat to citriculture. The pest not only causes direct damage to the leaves of new sprouts, but also infect the twigs and fruits (Clausen, 1931; Heppner, 1995; Mustafa et al., 2013).
