Abstract

Citrus is one of the important fruit crops in India with the production of 75.7 lakh tons from 8.43 lakh hectares with the productivity of 9.0 tons/ha at national level as compared to 25-30 tons/ha in advanced citrus producing countries (NHB, 1). The productivity and quality of citrus is severely affected by several factors; insect pests being one of them. Among them, blackfly, Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby (Aleurodidae: Homoptera), psylla, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Psyllidae: Homoptera) and leaf-miner, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Phyllocnistidae: Lepidoptera) are the major insect pests causing large scale damage to citrus crop throughout India.
