• California's $2.5 billion citrus industry is at risk.
• Citrus Pest and Disease Prevention Program and theCalifornia Department of Food and Agriculture are havepartnered with the California citrus industry in acollaborative effort to help save our state’s citrus.

17 member California Citrus Pest and Disease PreventionCommittee.
• Develop a statewide citrus specific pest and disease workplan that includes, but is not limited to, the following:– Outreach and education programs for residents, local communities,
groups, on the prevention of citrus pests and diseases.– Programs for surveying, detecting, analyzing, and treating pests and
diseases specific to citrus.
• Advise the Secretary on implementation of the work plan,including:– Annual assessment rate and annual budget.– Adoption of regulations consistent with the powers and duties of
the committee.

Trapping
Detection TrappingTrap Density: Five to 16 traps/squaremile.Trap Servicing Interval: Every two tofour weeks.

• ACP detection sites and adjacent properties treated withhomeowner consent
• Foliar treatment with cyfluthrin (Tempo SC Ultra)
• Soil drench with imidacloprid (Merit 2F)
Urban Treatments
![Page 13: ACP and HLB: The California Situation (Citrus)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051711/58626b561a28ab0e308dd286/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Treatment
Voluntary Area-wide Treatment
• CDFA treats residential properties 400 meters aroundcommercial properties
– Only if 75% of commercial citrus is treated
• Two applications per year
Voluntary Treatments in Response to ACP
• 100-400 meters around detection site
Mandatory Treatments in Response to HLB
• 800 meters around detection site
![Page 14: ACP and HLB: The California Situation (Citrus)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051711/58626b561a28ab0e308dd286/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• US/Mexico Border
– Maintain 2 mile trapping buffer and 400 meter treatments.
• Generally infested areas.
– Implement Area-wide treatments where feasible and growerparticipation levels are high.
– No treatment in areas where Area-wide protocol is notfeasible, focus on HLB survey and biocontrol.
In response to HLB detections all properties within 800meters will be treated.

• In any area where ACP has not been previously detectedor where ACP has been detected at low densities.
• For single ACP detections not within 1.5 miles ofcommercial citrus, all properties within 100 meters willbe surveyed and treated.
• If the find is within 1.5 miles of commercial citrus, or ifmultiple ACP are detected within six months of eachother, the survey and treatment area will be 400 meters.
• In response to HLB detections all properties within 800meters will be treated.
• Begin identifying areawide management areas.

Hacienda Heights HLB Find 2012
• One positive tree found on a residential property inHacienda Heights (LA County)
• The positive tree had over 19 illegal pomelo andlemon grafts
• Homeowner voluntarily allowed for the removal ofthe diseased tree
• Area has been continually monitored for over 3years without a subsequent find

San Gabriel HLB Detections
• The initial tree (kumquat) was found as a result ofthe CDFA Risk-Based Huanglongbing (HLB) Survey.Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) were collected from thefind site that tested in the inconclusive range, so thelead diagnostician at the lab requested a resample ofthe property.
• Plant tissue from the tree was collected during theresample and the plant tissue collected during thefollow-up sample tested PCR positive.
• Nine additional trees were confirmed from the samearea. All positive trees were removed.

• Survey and treatment areas expanded due tothis find.
• All have been removed.

Neglected/Abandoned Orchards
• The program supports the removal of neglected/abandoned groves.
• San Bernardino County Agricultural Commissioner continues tohave good response to letters they sent to the owners of apparentlyabandoned groves. The removals continue.
• The Madera County abandoned grove where the latest ACP wasfound was treated. Reportedly, the grove will be removed withinthe next 18 months. Stevie McNeil and Sylvie will continue tomonitor this situation.
• San Diego County is selecting vendors to remove abandoned grovesshould that be necessary, if the owners fail to act after the dueprocess is exhausted. When they are in place, they intend to movequickly to notify the owners.
