Start Date: Apr 11, 2011
End Date: Sep 30, 2012

Objective:
Develop methods for trapping, monitoring and control of the Asian citrus psyllid.

Approach:
Electrophysiological studies of psyllid antenna will identify potentially active volatile compounds from host plants and conspecifics. These will be tested as attractants and/or repellents to be used in trapping and other control modalities.
