Asian Citrus Psyllid
The Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) is a pest that acts as a carrier or vector spreading "huanglongbing" (HLB), also known as Citrus Greening, a devastating disease of citrus trees. This bacterial disease is transmitted to healthy trees by the psyllid after it feeds on infected plant tissue.
The links below have been provided to help answer questions about ACP and HLB and the threat to all citrus growers in the County.
