EFA COORDINATED RESEARCH PROJECT FOR THE INTEGRATED CONTROL OF THE APHID Toxoptera citricida


Project/Coordinated Action for the Integrated Control of the aphid Toxoptera citricida, main vector of Citrus Tristeza Virus between the Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research (IVIA) and the Estación Fitopatolóxica do Areeiro (EFA), in the framework of the Subprogram of Agricultural Resources and Technology research projects between Spanish regions of the National Agriculture and Food Technology Research Institute (INIA).



The main vector of Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV), the aphid Toxoptera citricida, has been recently detected in the Iberian Peninsula. At present, it is widely disseminated in the Iberian Peninsula. This project aims to establish the basis for the control of T. citricida within an Integrated Pest Management program. One of the subprojects will be carried out by the Estación Fitopatolóxica do Areeiro EFA. Its main aim will be to determine the level of incidence of the pest and the occurrence of natural enemies on citrus trees, and the treatment thresholds against T. citricida. The other subproject will be performed in Alicante province to determine the evolution of citrus aphid population and the natural enemies naturally occurring on lemon trees.
