Article Synopsis
- The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) is a pest that spreads Citrus Greening Disease, which is increasing in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), Texas, making its management crucial.
- Researchers collected over 9,300 psyllid samples to find local strains of entomopathogenic fungi that can effectively control ACP and identified two isolates of Beauveria bassiana.
- These local fungal strains outperformed a standard control fungus in laboratory tests, showing promise as biological control agents for managing ACP populations in the region.
