Abstract：The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, is the primary vector of citrus Huanglongbing; a devastating disease of citrus that causes small and bitter fruit, aborted seeds, and rapid tree death. It is a huge potential threat to the development of the citrus industry around the world. D. citri. has developed resistance to various classes of insecticides. This review introduces current knowledge on bioassay methods, insecticide resistance, cross-resistance, resistance mechanisms and resistance management in D. citri and provides a valuable reference for future research.
