Citrus greening is the most devastating problem with citrus. The citrus psyllid insect is the vector (transferee) of this disease. The best I can liken it to is AIDS for citrus, the dirty hypodermic needle being the insect the citrus psyllid, and there currently is no current cure.
ATTACHED is The citrus leafminer and the citrus psyllid in dooryard citrus from our last meeting with Dr. Mongi Zekri.
