Diaphorina citri is the vector of bacterium that cause “huanglongbing” (HLB). The psyllid acquires pathogen after feeding on infected plants and transmits it to other trees as moves through orchard. psyllid’s movement directly affected by abiotic biotic factors, such presence conspecific insects natural enemies. We evaluated effects nymphs either not parasitized or Tamarixia radiata oviposition...

Veracruz, Tabasco y Oaxaca son tres principales productores nivel nacional; sin embargo, esta producción mantiene en riesgo por las pérdidas económicas que genera la enfermedad Huanglongbing su vector Psílido Asiático Cítricos Diaphorina citr...

Densities of an herbivorous pest may be impacted by landscape and orchard architecture.
