Huanglongbing detected in Long Beach
An insect that has devastated citrus groves in parts of Florida, California and Texas was recently found on a tree in Long Beach. The Asian citrus psyllid is an invasive insect that causes an incurable plant disease called Huanglongbing. Through this disease, the insect can devastate citrus crops, which are a $3.4 billion industry in California, according to the state Department of Food and Agriculture.
The Asian citrus psyllid
was first spotted in Southern California in 2008, near the Mexican border, and it made its way to the Los Angeles basin four years later. The state responded by issuing a quarantine for portions of L.A., Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, meaning no fruit, limbs or leaves from a citrus tree could be taken out of or into the designated areas, said Victoria Hornbaker, director of the Citrus Pest and Disease Prevention Division for the Food and Agriculture Department.
