Abstract:
The citrus huanglongbing (HLB) pathogen is one of the most
devastating diseases affecting global citrus production, and poses a serious
threat to the sustainable development of the citrus industry worldwide. The
Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri), the primary vector of HLB,
plays a critical role in the spread of the disease. This paper elaborates on
the pathogenic understanding of HLB, including its history, symptoms, and
damage, and delves into the biological characteristics, behavioral patterns,
and damage mechanisms of the Asian citrus psyllid. It also reviews integrated
management strategies for this pest, including physical, chemical, and
biological control methods, providing a comprehensive analysis of HLB control
strategies. Furthermore, areas for future research on the Asian citrus psyllid
and HLB are proposed.
